LONDON (AFP) - Brighton fans can still “support” their
team even if they are not allowed into Premier League
games... by paying for cut-outs of themselves to be
placed in the stands.
The Premier League season is due to resume
on June 17 after a three-month break due to the
coronavirus pandemic.
Brighton are following in the steps of Bundesliga
clubs, who have populated their grounds with
fake fans after matches were forced behind
closed doors.
The Seagulls, who are two points above the
relegation zone with nine games remaining, return
to action against Arsenal on June 20.
“We are asking fans to don their blue and white
matchday attire and send in their picture to be part of
the remaining ive matches of the season to be played
at the Amex,” the club said in statement.
“With the last ive games of the 2019/20 season
taking place behind closed doors, the club is
offering season-ticket holders and MyAlbion+
members the chance to purchase their own
personalised cut-out.”
Personalised cut-outs cost GBP20 (USD25) each,
with part of the proits donated to charity.
