Bournemouth - Brighton is not a derby.
Indeed. People (who aren't Brighton or Palace fans) will argue about whether or not Brighton vs Palace is really a derby. Bournemouth is about twice as far away as Croydon.

Absolute nonsense. I think even Fab, new to the area as he is, knew that was a stupid question.

But yeah, they are both on the coast so... :shrug:

The questions should just be asked by the local journos such as Cantor and Owen who at least can be relied on not to say stupid things such as Bournemouth v Brighton is a derby. And perhaps will also reflect what the fans want to know.

Is it a random choice as to who asks the questions each week, or do different organisations take it in turns (e.g Sky Sports this week, The Sun next etc)?

Palace isn’t a derby either. It’s a rivalry.

Bournemouth - Brighton is not a derby.
These lazy journalists drive me up the wall. Every year we get this tosh.

Arsenal, Brentford, Chelsea, Palace, Fulham, Southampton, Tottenham & West Ham are all closer to Brighton than is Bournemouth. Ipswich is only 15 minutes longer to drive from Brighton! Yet year after year, everything on the South Coast is a derby. Does that work with the other coasts? Is Norwich v Southend a derby?

Brighton to Bournemouth is about the same distance as Newcastle to Leeds. Brighton to Dieppe via Newhaven is less miles than Brighton to Bournemouth! Just stop it.
