Albion's Open Top Bus Tour

Albion fans are invited to celebrate the club's promotion success with the players during an open top bus ride along Brighton seafront on Sunday 8th May.

The newly-crowned League One champions will be the guests of Brighton & Hove City Council at a civic reception in the afternoon.

The open top bus will then set off from outside the council offices in Grand Avenue at approximately 5.30pm.

The team will make its way along the seafront to Madeira Drive, where the players will be presented to the fans from the mezzanine level.

Poyet said, "I would like to thank all supporters on behalf of the team and the club for all of their tremendous support throughout the season. We will be working hard through the break to prepare for the Championship next season and look forward to seeing you all at the Amex."

Brighton & Hove City Council chief executive John Barradell said, "With the new Amex Stadium and promotion, 2011 will surely go down as one of the greatest years in the Albion's history.

"I'm sure thousands of residents will want to come out and show their support for their local club."

What is the Mezzanine level ? So its basically along the seafront and past the pier. Last ones ended at the council i believe

Shame it's in the evening as well during Man U Chelsea as lots of floating football fans won't bother going.

Thought this. 4pm the Man U game isn't it ?

Must admit am toying with idea of Utd game and then dash out for the final bit of the parade, should take a good 30 mins from the council and bound to run late.

Does the Versity (sp) show games ? May be a good place to watch game and can then just join parade from there

Where exactly in Maderia Drive is the Mezzanine Level.

Where Burger King is. The squad can get burger after.
