Crystal Palace F.C.

[SM BHAFC]

At the risk of sounding, well, stupid, can anyone explain why there is so much hatred between our two clubs?
I'm all for friendly rivalry and banter, but why the violence? Surely its better to have a healthy conversation over a few pints then go and enjoy a game of football.
Sensible answers only please, this is a genuine rrequest for informed and intellegent answers.
Thanks.

Well you are for friendly banter and healthy conversation, others are up for a ruck it ain't rocket science people like differant things, you probably like caravans, gold shiny things, burnt mattresses, inter family breeding and shell suits, I don't.

Highlight of the rivalry was when Alan Mullery threw £5 of change in a puddle and shouting 'You're not worth that Palace' before giving the main stand at Selhurst the V sign.

That’s got me thinking, with inflation you would have thought Pala*se would be worth at least a £10 by now. But no!?!

Caveman scratches head in disbelief!

The fifth of the encounters between the two clubs in 1976/77 was played out at Selhurst in March, in front of a crowd of almost 29,000. Despite a goal from Andy Rollings, the Albion lost 3-1. The rival chants of “Seagulls!!!” and “Eagles!!!”, “Seaweed!!!” and “Scum!!!” were by now an established part of every supporter’s repertoire.

It was at Stamford Bridge at the 2nd replay and it was infront of the Palace fans beside the dugout.

"Who's up Peter Ward?
Alan, Alan Mullery,
Alan, Alan Mullery"

"He shot, he cum,
all over Mullery's bum,
Peter Ward, Peter Ward"

Do you realise how stupid that makes you sound, Billingshurst Eagle ?

 

[Caveman]

Ditto as above! Very sad.

 

[Hiney]

Surely it should read 'he came'

Funny how you think that we're not your most hated team.................................

when we were invited to Selhurst to promote the first Robert Eaton Memorial game in 2001, seven of us sat amonst the Norwich fans (for it was they who the Scum were playing) in our rather spiffing and spendid blue and white striped shirts.

As soon as the Holmesdale End spotted us, there was continual abuse voiced in our direction to the complete bewilderement of the tractor Boys sitting around us. In fact there was so much "hatred" (hahaha) shown too us that the police came down to us at the end of the game and advised us to cover our shirts up before we left the ground for "your own protection". They were even more bemused when we said that we weren't worried because we were going back to The Woolpack for a few rounds..........

Think you are wrong Dave, I'm pretty sure it was at the Palace end as he walked past them and it was about a fivers worth of loose change thrown on the ground. I seem to recall seeing a picture of it somewhere. Ron Challis was the ref. It was a VERY long time ago and I may well be wrong but that's how I remember it

this is correct !!

That was my very first game - brings back the memories as if they were yesterday!!

Do you like most palace inbreds spend most of your spare time(That chunk of the week when your not signing on) sucking the crap out of hamsters to see if they'll float?

Similarly - when a few of us turned up at your away game at Coventry the season before last - your lot went mental - indicating how they were going to kill us all outside - yet outside you're all a bunch of lambs.

And, just to prove how daft you are Storer, the Tractor boys are Ipswich not Norwich their hated rivals

And subsequently led to a "5-0" banner being seen at the Division 1 Play-off final and several subsequent England matches. Who says Palace don't care about us!!!

As seen on TV:
