Brighton & Hove Albion have taken the precautionary measure of scaling back operations at the American Express Community Stadium and Elite Football Performance Centre.

Only essential operations staff will be onsite at the two locations until next week, after Manchester United requested a postponement of this weekend’s men’s first-team fixture.

The club shop at Churchill Square and the Amex will remain open, but Dick’s Bar will be closed until next Wednesday morning.

Deputy chairman and chief executive Paul Barber commented, “With the Manchester United match postponed we have taken this measure to scale back operations at both sites.

“With the exception of those who cannot work from home, such as security or grounds maintenance, all staff will work from home for a period of time, to limit any potential transmission.

“We are also asking all staff to take a sensible approach and limit their own social and other interactions.”

Men’s first-team training will take place tomorrow, before a two-day break. Training will resume on Monday morning, with daily testing place, and only essential staff attending at the training ground.

Amex-based staff will return on Wednesday to begin preparation for the Boxing Day fixture with Brentford at the stadium.

Good. As usual the Albion are the first to spot the issue and the first to act appropriately.

As there are no trains anyway, about three.

The low actual crowds last night and Boxing Day will be quite helpful in making sure Plan B requirements are followed / allowing staff to get used to them too
