We've already asked how we'll fill the gap left by elite football this weekend, and what will happen to the food that was prepared for those games.

But what about the staff that had planned to receive wages from working at those games?

Like their Premier League rivals Aston Villa, Brighton are donating food to local charities.

Albion have also committed to pay staff who are unable to work due to thecoronavirus, including more than 600 regular casual staff who work for the club on matchdays.

Chief executive and deputy chairman Paul Barber said: “We have had to cancel their work at really short notice, and we know that their work and pay is really important.

“We have taken the decision as a club to continue paying the vast majority of our matchday staff for the remainder of the season, whether or not we play the five remaining Premier League games.

“That is a small thing we can do. The vast majority of people we employ are local people, so it is important we support them, and through them our local economy, at a difficult time and hopefully give them some reassurance, regardless of what else happens, they still have that income from us to come.”
