Brighton will appeal to the government to allow supporters back into grounds despite the latest coronavirus crackdown, club CEO Paul Barber has insisted.
The string of draconian measures unveiled recently saw clubs rocked with the prospect of behind closed doors clashes for the foreseeable future - and fans will not be able to return in October as originally planned.
But Barber, who has proved one of the more vocal top flight chiefs over the issue, remains keen for venues to be reopened.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a series of measures intended to prevent a second surge in Covid-19 infections, and also delivered a stark warning that they may be in place for as long as six months.
