Brighton and Hove Albion assistant manager Björn Hamberg has added his voice to those against playing fixtures at neutral venues.
The Premier League is currently suspended, the authorities having stopped football nearly two months ago in an effort to aid the fight against Coronavirus.
So far several deadlines for the game to return have been missed, with clubs and governing bodies in disagreement about the safest way to do so.
One proposed idea is to play games behind closed doors at neutral venues, the latter part an effort to stop fans congregating outside of their home grounds.
This has been opposed by those towards the bottom of the table, including Brighton, who believe it would take away a key advantage in their respective relegation battles.
Indeed, Brighton chairman Tony Bloom has been a public and vocal campaigner against the plan, and now Hamberg has suggested he is in agreement with his chairman.
“I can only speak for myself,” he told Football Friday.
“Everyone wants to play at home, whether they play in Brighton or Östersunds. I do not see anything strange in that.
“I also do not see anything strange in those who have the most to play for thinking it is most important. If you are in the middle of the table, you may have a different view.
“But as I understand it, the government wants to move so that fans do not gather outside areas.
“If we play at a neutral venue, you will have to travel more and quarantine in hotels. It is a sick amount of protocol.”
