Albion will welcome almost 8,000 of their most loyal fans back to the Amex for the visit of Manchester City this month.

All will be season ticket holders or 1901 Club members with no away fans permitted.

The Seagulls will make approximately 7,900 tickets available for the match to be played on Tuesday, May 18 (7pm).

It promises to be a special, potentially emotional, occasion at the stadium.

On-sale purchase windows have been decided by ballot.

The match will take place with stringent anti-Covid protocols in operation.

The return of fans is still subject to the next stage in the easing of lockdown restrictions going ahead as expected on May 17.
