Brighton chief executive Paul Barber backs proposals to show Premier League games on free-to-air television for the rest of the season

Brighton have backed the idea of broadcasting behind-closed-doors Premier League games on free-to-air television, providing Sky Sports and BT Sport agree to a deal.

Chief executive Paul Barber says they would want as many of their fans to see them play.

It comes after culture secretary, Oliver Dowden, revealed the league is currently considering making some fixtures available on free-to-air once the season is able to restart.
