"As a long-standing resident of the city I have experienced the ups and the downs of the Albion in the last 20-plus years.

"Now they are in the top flight, it's only right that the whole city comes together to thank everyone at The Amex for doing their bit.

"As a small independent business we want to play our part - and this blue and white sauce will help Seagulls fans show their true colours during the open top parade."
