John Prescott will get a light-hearted reminder of the desperate need for the Falmer stadium when thousands of Albion fans visit his constituency on Saturday.

The Seagulls take on Hull City at their stunning new KC Stadium and supporters are asking: "Can we have one too, Mr Prescott?"

A delegation will deliver a giant 4ft by 3ft Dear John postcard to the Deputy Prime Minister's constituency headquarters before kick-off.

The message reads:

A seagull called Gully once flew To Hull City to see what was new.

He said when he found Their magnificent ground:

"Mr Prescott, can we have one too?"

The Deputy Prime Minister has promised to make his final yes or no verdict on the new 22,000-seat community stadium at Falmer before the end of October.

He has already been handed the report of planning inspector David Brier following a resumed public inquiry earlier this year.

The Falmer For All Campaign has promised to keep up the pressure and Mr Prescott has praised the jocular and non-confrontational tone of the campaign. In the past few years he has been presented with giant sticks of rock, Valentine and Christmas cards and a huge bunch of flowers with cards from every league club.

Last September, thousands of Albion fans took part in a good-natured protest march along the seafront during the Labour Party conference.

Paul Samrah, chairman of the Falmer For All Campaign, said: "We have always tried to be original and do things differently and we have been successful in grabbing the attention of the media.

"Only a couple of weeks ago we doused Des Lynam to demonstrate the wind and rain-lashed conditions at Withdean.

"The stadium at Hull is fantastic and shows every great city needs a stadium. It is vital for the community and for Brighton and Hove Albion.

"Our future is in Mr Prescott's hands and it would be great if we got a yes verdict before the Labour conference returns to the city next month."

The Albion say they face a bleak future if they are forced to stay at Withdean.

With a capacity of just 7,000 the club will not be able to generate sufficient income for it to survive in the top divisions of English football and it is currently being baled out on an annual basis by generous directors.
