Going to place cardboard cutout replica photos of fans in their seats for home games. I am glad that our club is not going to follow this lead.

Could they face a points deduction if they black up any cardboard ?

Thought they would have gone for plastic rather than cardboard.

If you mean featuring some black faces in the crowd by "black up any cardboard" - an interesting phrase - then, no, I don't think they will.

At least they will be more authentic fans and less self righteous

Neil Hart said on Clarets Player just yesterday that we are looking into lower-tier coverings to give the illusion of fans too...

Think the club should save the money unless it helps the players, which I doubt.

only £100 for your replica, if you want it in your own season ticket place then extra £20 so could generate extra £100 per ticket holder giving a £1 million pounds

Didn't Arsenal once have a banner behind the goal of fans and there was an outcry because there were not enough ethnic minorities portrayed???

Yes thought I remembered it...

They've done it at all the Australian rugby grounds. It's a bit of fun. File it under "lockdown jokes and memes" - no objection from me.

I don't think Brighton supporters are any different to those of any other Premier League club.

Sounds a bit naff and so does adding fake crowd noise...but last Saturday Bayer Leverkusen v Bayern Munich had both some kind of fan mural and recorded crowd noise and it made the game somehow massively better viewing than the previous games I'd seen in echoing empty stadia.

I believe they are charging £20 each, I also believe Wolves are doing this but at a cost of £7 :shock:

Brightons are cardboard cutouts whereas Wolves’ are photos on a huge banner that covers one end of Molineux.

Given that the view that the tv viewers see of the Turf is predominently the Bob Lord maybe they should just buy a job lot of tartan rugs and place them on the seats. :D

Clubs could just drape large flags over the seats in the front rows like some away supporters do when there are empty seats at the front. It would give a slight illusion of normality as long as the cameras don't aim too high up in the stand.

They're going to need extra lube, cardboard is quite abrasive
