Brighton and Hove Albion's Glenn Murray celebrates after scoring a goal against West Ham in February before the Premier League season was halted. Brighton and Hove Albion are the first English Premier League club to publicly oppose plans to try to restart the season in neutral stadiums amid the coronavirus pandemic. West Ham vice-chairwoman Karren Brady said "no one wants" neutral stadiums, but was not as direct in her opposition to the league's "Project Restart" plan, given the need for authorities to approve venues. Brighton and West Ham are in a scrap to avoid relegation with the Seagulls having five of their nine remaining games scheduled to be played at home. Brighton sit 15th in the standings, while West Ham are 16th.
