'Majority of clubs wanted to play home and away': Brighton chief executive Paul Barber reveals Premier League rivals backed his opposition to playing at neutral venues

Brighton chief executive Paul Barber feels vindicated by his opposition to completing the Premier League season at neutral venues after revealing a majority of clubs backed his stance.

The Seagulls have been vocal critics of the concept, one of a number of proposals put forward by the Premier League as part of its 'Project Restart' plan as a means of finishing the 2019-20 campaign.

It has been argued that the idea could have too much of an impact on the integrity of the competition and, at a meeting on Monday, Barber divulged that it was largely unfavourable with clubs.
