Apparently I heard from another board reading that during the match, that there were Crawley fans singing 'We hate Brighton' is this true? If so was it a small group of Crawley fans or the majority/ all?

Staffordshire has five (although Walsall, West Brom and Wolves spent some time in a - now abolished - county called the West Midlands).
And yes, Strike, there were chants about hating Brighton.
Bless.

To be honest I'm more than a little indifferent to them. Why should I feel any other way? There's no way I can hate them. Nothing has happened to make me hate (or on the reverse, like) them. If you hate crawley, you may as well hate worthing, Eastbourne, Lewes etc.
Having said that, these must be exciting times for Crawley. They've managed to pull themselves out of nonleague obscurity to a point where they are very close to playing league football.
Thinking some more, I think it might be good if they did get promoted. Hopefully it would enable us to ship out some of our younger / inexperienced players out to a league team. I think a few months on loan at a third division club would have been good for the likes of molango, jarret and robinson. It would be a win win situation as they are all players who have the potential to play div one football, so Crawley would get some decent players. And for us it would give our squad players valuable first team experience.
So, having thought about it, my opinion of crawley has changed from one of indifference to one of active support. All in the space of one post. C'mon Crawley!!!!

I'm with Pasty here, I support the Albion, less likely to have any soft spot for a team that historically have no rivallry with the Albion, but geographically should be our biggest rivals.pasty said:

Don't like them never will due to being a horsham boy but that said I couldn't give a stuff about their results, to the extent that I don't even look out to see how they are doing, they only reaosn I know they are doing well is because I work in crawley and there are a few crawley fans here.

Found out that it was only a small minority that were singing we hate Brighton. I Guess a fair few P**ace fans went and as Crawley Boy said decided to take all their kids to the games to get some anti-Brighton feeling going.

Only a few Crawley fans sing anything at all, so it's nothing to worry about. I only heard it once last night. The majority have been supportive in our quest for a new ground, it's just that the anti's are more vocal.
I've followed Crawley's results since my cousin played for them many years ago, and have recently started going to their games when I can. Sadly, their ground feels much more like a football stadium than Withdean, and the whole matchday experience is better. Makes me realise how much we need a decent stadium.

Don't think that's true. Crawley Town wanted us to share the Broadfield but Crawley council wouldn't allow it. The council own the stadium and had made promises to local residents about how often it would be used, hence why we weren't allowed to play there.
