Albion have thanked fans for showing their support – even though they cannot get to games.

The Seagulls play before empty stands again tomorrow when Fulham visit in the Premier League.

It will be the 13th Premier League fixture to be played behind closed doors at the Amex.

Although fans cannot be heard in person, Paul Barber has revealed many are communicating their support.

The club’s deputy chairman and chief executive said: “Fans won't be aware, but we've received countless emails daily leading up to and after games, full of encouragement, support and goodwill, and that's been wonderful.

"It's hard to imagine any way the fans could get behind the club any more when they can't actually be in the stadium.

ALBION ARE FIFTH IN THIS TABLE

“Watching on TV and sending in those messages is something we really appreciate, not just me, but particularly Graham (Potter, head coach) and the players.

"We have had encouragement about the style of football we're playing.

"It's terrific encouragement for the players that are new to the club and are beginning to find their way and the players that we have brought back from loan in this transfer window."
