If Palace did go bust-Who would become our rivals?

[Husty]

AFC Crystal Palace obviously...

 

[WhingForPresident]

Southampton.
We've got a nice little rivalry brewing with them as it is.

 

[matt]

Pompey and Southampton would view us thinking we have a rivalry in the same way that we would view Orient thinking we give a toss about them.

Let's hope Palace survive (after getting relegated, and having more points docked at the start of next season)

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

AFC Palace

 

[blue2]

I don't want CP to cease to exist but AFC Palarse if not it would bournemouth but as we are a club on the up I will set my sights a little higher...................................how about AC Milan

 

[Whitterz]

Eastbourne Borough

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

If you have to invent a rival, its nature's way of telling you you don't have a rival.

 

[Meade's Ball]

I'd go long-distance. Somewhere i don't understand like Macclesfield where i don't know what they stand for, look like, dress as, talk about. I imagine they are in the north and fly down slopes on borrowed, wheeled sofas and fall backwards into rivulets when staring in to haggard old dames' unspeckled windows.

Give it some thought. We don't consider Leyton Orient rivals, but they consider us to be. So, we didn't choose them but they chose us. Understand? If not, nevermind.

But then Orient have "chosen" their rivals, which you're saying they can't do? Sorry I'm confused

AFC Palace

great shout

Portsmouth and Southampton would NOT be interested they are too busy hating each other and simply just wouldn't put the effort in. No, we would have to just sit back rival-less until some bitter, twisted club ( 60 miles max ) take it upon themselves to hate us. Probably because they would be jealous of our new ground, nestled in the picturesque south downs and 20000+ attendances etc etc ...

Reading? Their clackerstick clapping hot dawg munching kiddies have to grow up at some point.

Spot on!!

No Millwall on the poll!

 

[LA1972]

No Millwall on the poll!

One or two good reasons spring to mind such as 1# keeping new ground intact 2# keeping my face intact

sums that proposition up perfectly!

Personally it'll be Leyton Orient. Mainly due to Scott McGleish...

If not AFC Palace

Quite.

 

[Strike]

I think we would be a rivalless team, we would hate Pompey and Southampton but would not care about us! I suppose Crawley or Eastbourne Borough (should one of them get near us), but would not be serious just would be Reds or Borough fans disliking us, and Albion not caring as never been in same league etc and doubt it when Falmers built!

 

[Steve Foster]

Eastbourne Borough, Millwall, Brentford

What you need to grasp Philzo is that films like Football factory and Green Street are infact fictional, and you are not near certain to get your head kicked in, as you would have found out if you hadn't pussied out of Millwall away at the start of the season.
