Brighton vs Southampton crowd pictures: Fans finally back at the Amex Stadium

“We hope that it’s a really positive impact," said head coach Graham Potter ahead of the Southampton match."I am sure the players will look forward to seeing them and playing in front of them. It’s what makes football, ultimately.

“We have had games at home even after lockdown – Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool – the games we have lost are arguably the ones where you really need the supporters.

“We hope we can use the support, we hope that we can play well and get them involved in the game."
