Disabled Albion fans wheeled themselves from Falmer to Withdean to raise funds for the campaign to secure the club a new stadium.

Fifteen supporters from the Brighton and Hove Albion Official Disabled Supporters (BODS) group made the journey before the club's 2-2 draw with Coventry on Saturday.

Paul Samrah, chairman of the Falmer For All campaign, said: "It was partly to raise money for BODS and also to raise awareness of the Falmer campaign."

The Falmer campaign received renewed support on Saturday from former boss Micky Adams, now managing fellow Coca Cola Championship club Coventry City.

He offered to join thousands of Albion fans when they march along Brighton seafront to lobby Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott at the Labour Party conference.

He said: "I'll always offer my support to this club.

"If that means coming down here and marching down Brighton seafront again then that's what I'll do."

Former Albion stars such as Jimmy Case and Gary Stevens will join current boss Mark McGhee, chairman Dick Knight and an estimated 5,000 Seagulls fans in their last chance to put their case to Mr Prescott.

And Adams urged the Government to give the green light to the new stadium so that more of Albion's "magnificent" fans can see their team in action.

He said: "It's scandalous they've not got a ground. These fans deserve one.

"They've been through so much down here. They lost the Goldstone Ground and had nowhere to go. They were playing at Gillingham when I arrived and now they've ended up at Withdean.

"People say it's only a small club but it's not, it's a big, big club. They can only get 6,500 in at Withdean at the moment but if the Government and Mr Prescott pull their fingers out the fans will get a stadium they deserve, one that befits their status. We have a marvellous new stadium and that took an awful long time, so I just hope Brighton can get the same."

BODS was set up to improve facilities, access to grounds, parking facilities, access to information and any other relevant issues for disabled fans.
