"The fans didn't know where they were going until shortly before the game, and it's a long journey. We want to get the season off to a good start with them, which is why we're making this gesture. We hope they appreciate it," said Premier League club captain Lewis Dunk ahead of Thursday's first leg of the Conference League play-offs.
On Wednesday evening, 407 Brighton supporters had registered to attend the match in northern Norway on site, according to the Daily Mail.
