Michel Kuipers wants fans to be Albion’s 12th man again and raise the roof towards League One survival.
The big Dutchman is backing our ‘Raise the Roof’ campaign, inspired by Lloyd Owusu’s unique goal celebration.
Up to 2,000 supporters will make the journey north to the Galpharm Stadium tomorrow for the Seagulls’ crucial last away game of the season against Huddersfield.
Kuipers, the club’s long-serving No. 1, believes they can make a big difference. He said: “It’s quite a nice stadium and we have heard a lot of people are going up from Brighton to support us, so it’s going to be a very good atmosphere.
“They are basically our 12th man and when you are down there battling for survival you need a little bit of extra support.
“All of the supporters have really played a part in what we have achieved so far. Now we have to make sure we get another good result and, if the other games go for us, then hopefully we will be safe.”
Fans driving to Yorkshire tomorrow have been advised roadworks could delay their journey. Huddersfield have recommended exiting the M62 at junction 25 and following signs for the Galpharm Stadium from there.
Seagulls supporters have also been urged to get to the stadium as early as possible to ease possible congestion at the turnstiles, as the game is pay-at-the-gate only, and to adhere to Huddersfield’s policy of fans not being allowed to stand.
