Albion's memorable season will be far from over when the last League ball is kicked at Shrewsbury on May 5.

Boss Micky Adams and his players face a busy three weeks, including several more matches, before they can put their feet up for a well-earned rest.

The Seagulls celebrate promotion with an open top bus tour of the city, starting at the Palace Pier, on Sunday, May 6.

An Albion XI tackle Worthing Hospital's Accident and Emergency Department the same day at Woodside Road, Worthing from 3 pm. Proceeds go towards equipment for the A&E department.

A rearranged reserve game at Fulham's training ground on Tuesday May 8 at 1pm is followed in the evening by the benefit match for physio Malcolm Stuart and retired kit man Jock Riddell against Charlton at Withdean from 7.45pm.

Albion visit Crowborough on May 13 in aid of toddler Ellisha Dorrill, who suffers from cerebal palsy.

Adams is then taking the squad away for a few days from May 20 before the Seagulls visit his old club Southampton on May 26 from 3pm for the last game ever at The Dell.

That is the same day as the Third Division play-off final at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

"The lads will be playing games and we may have them in a couple of days a week to keep them ticking over," Adams said. The last thing we want is to turn up at Southampton and embarrass ourselves, even though the result is not important."

The players' summer break is restricted to just under six weeks, as they report back for pre-season training on Thursday July 5.

The squad rallied round Warren Aspinall this week by taking part in a fund-raising golf day at Ham Manor which raised £5,235 for the midfielder forced to quit by injury.

The top bid in the auction was £400 for a pair of Bobby Zamora's boots.

Zamora's hand injury prevented him from playing, but he was there for the dinner after collecting his Nationwide player of the month prize earlier in the day.
