Would you sit in your rivals end for a derby game?

[bristolseagull]

No chance, did at Reading years ago and hated it

 

[Best Foot Forward]

Yep did it at the one nil

Me too. Not sure I would do it again, as the muppet I was sat next to had such hatred for everything related to Brighton I am positive he would have beaten the shit out of me if he had found out. When we scored he was too busy kicking lumps out of the seats around to notice my (well hidden) smile. The best bit though was their dissalowed effort, as he must have been the last person in the ground to notice the offside flag.....priceless

 

[Diego Napier]

yes, there for the 5-0 and the 1-0 and the second more than made up for the first

 

[severnside gull]

did it out of necessity at Southampton last season and it was ok (but then I am a bad fan as I tend not to be overly demonstrative) but would much rather be among Brighton fans

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Hmm, the corporate idea is interesting as no chance me getting a ticket in the away end. Do they sell them to away fans? Or do we have to pretend to be Palace?

 

[Questions]

I know for a fact I would get into a fight if I did go in the Palace end so I wouldn`t even think about it. I can never keep my mouth shut at football.

I did for the 1987 2-1 defeat at Smeghurst. The game with the 5 penalties. I was 17 went with my uncle he didn't want to stand on the terrace and the away seats were limited and in a pretty crap area behind their kop so we went in the Main Stand. Spent the whole game looking longingly at the away terrace which was bouncing and biting my bottom lip as they missed penalty after penalty. When we scored couldn't help myself and went bonkers but I wasn't the only one and the whole stand started on the dozen or so Albion who were in. I'll never forget that experience but wouldn't recommend it......kept getting badgered to buy pegs and heather

I was behind the goal amongst the Palace fans at that game. It wasn't a very comfortable experience!!

 

[Tummy Burger]

I know one NSCer was looking for people to join him, as he approached me:

OK cheers. May look into this if the tickets I am hoping for, dont come off.

Yeah go for it
We do a lovely bit of roast hedgehog, bloody lovely it is too !
I think you'll be very lucky to get a box to be honest. You cant buy a ticket without a booking history,so i would imagine they would be strict with the boxes as well

 

[SeagullinExile]

Was thinking about maybe getting tickets in the home end for the upcoming derby as won't get tickets in away end. Don't think I'd be able to contain myself if we scored. Would you be able to do it?

Sold out apparantly dude. The chef at my pub worked part time for Palace on match days and had 4 tickets for the home end for me...unfortunately they have just let him go the bastards, apparantly to cut costs! So i've missed out on that one...gutted.

 

[Southstandfaithful]

It is very hard to do - i went corporate hospitality to Norwich for the 4:1 slaying ( grrrr graham Smith) and it was murder staying quiet!...

 

[ArcticBlue]

Me no like

 

[Deleted member 18477]

I'd rather not go! I cannot sit/stand there and not support my team properly!

 

[tweenster]

I was in amongst the Pompey faithful with my lad at Fratton Park earlier this season; had to bite my lip when we scored. It was a bit uncomfortable when they were awarded a penalty in the last minute but my celebration when they missed it was well hidden by the Pompey crowd standing up and hurling abuse at their players. Priceless!

 

[JonathanLivingstonSeagull]

You'd have to have balls of steel to do so at a Palace game... also there may come a moment where you a) pretend to celebrate their goal (unthinkable) or b) sit stoically if they score and betray you are behind enemy lines. Even standing up when they score as a feint would make any albion fan sick... so I don't know I could do it. Also you cannot celebrate our goals... Kind of pours water on the joy of it.

Alternatively watch the film ID and take lessons: go in home end, stand up after ten minutes and start singing brighton till i die till and see how it goes

Rivals?

 

[Twinkle Toes]

No chance. There ain't a hope in Hell that I'd be able to stifle my true allegiances - & I'd probably end up getting a right kicking tbh.

 

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

I will be as I took a Palace fan to the Amex game. He is returning the favour.

 

[Lord Bamber]

If I had to I would. Would I like probably not but Id rather watch the game than listen to it. I dont know if I could keep quiet but then thats the chance you take.

 

[doug7126]

Just out of interest. How much are the corporate boxes at Selhurst. There must be some available ?. May well try that option with a few others.

i would join in that idea
