In this evocative photograph by Paul Hazlewood, Steve Coppell, the charismatic and successful manager of Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club, leads a passionate procession of fans through the streets of Falmer, Sussex, in the early 1990s. The image captures a pivotal moment in the club's history as Coppell, with determination etched on his face, rallies the supporters in their quest for a new stadium. The Falmer Stadium project was a long-standing ambition for the Albion faithful, who had been campaigning for a new home since the late 1980s. The Goldstone Ground, the club's then home, was no longer fit for purpose, and the team was playing its matches at various grounds around the city. Coppell, who had taken charge of the team in 1993, became a driving force behind the campaign. He recognized the importance of having a permanent base for the club and its fans, and he galvanized the community to get behind the cause. The photograph shows Coppell, with arms outstretched, leading the way, inspiring the fans to follow him. The march was a powerful display of unity and determination, and it marked a turning point in the campaign. The Falmer Stadium project gained momentum, and in 1997, the new stadium was opened. The Amex Community Stadium, as it came to be known, provided Brighton & Hove Albion with a modern, state-of-the-art home, and it has been the heart of the club ever since. This photograph by Paul Hazlewood is a testament to the power of community spirit and the determination of one man to make a difference. It captures a moment in time when Steve Coppell, with his passion and leadership, brought the fans of Brighton & Hove Albion together in their quest for a new home. The image remains an iconic symbol of the club's history and its enduring connection to its supporters.
