Former Brighton manager Micky Adams has added his support to the club's battle to get the go-ahead for their new 23,000-seater stadium at Falmer. Adams will join a 5,000-strong group of fans on a march to lobby Deputy PM John Prescott at the Labour Party Conference in Brighton on Monday, 26 September.
He said: "I'll always offer my support. If that means marching down Brighton seafront then that's what I'll do."
The outcome of the inquiry into the ground will be known on 31 October.
Former Brighton stars such as Jimmy Case and Gary Stevens will join current boss Mark McGhee, chairman Dick Knight and supporters 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.
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 here.
"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 here 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."
