Gus Poyet believes that Brighton & Hove Albion's supporters should be praised for their loyal and increasing backing of the Championship club.

Brighton & Hove Albion manager Gus Poyet believes that the Championship club have some of the best support in English football.

The Seagulls have increased their ticket sales since they moved to the Amex stadium and are expected to have a full house for the majority of matches during the new season.

"To go from seven or eight thousand fans at Withdean to over 21,000 season ticket holders at the Amex in just over a year is unheard of in English football," Poyet told the club's official website. "I can't think of any club who has increased their season ticket holders at those levels.

"We have the tenth highest number of season ticket holders in English football, which shows that the Albion is a massive club.

"Our support keeps growing. There are only a few hundred season tickets left for next season, and I would urge any fan wanting to guarantee a seat for the big games to act now."

Brighton kick off their new campaign on August 18 away to Hull City.
