How do you view games against Palace?

[Icy Gull]

I think attitudes vary enormously on this.

Poll to follow, and I'll almost certainly forget an option.

Very good.

Have no opinions one way or another on Palace tbh...just another football club to me, & cant be bothered with all the rivalry BS.
Will watch the games, go home, & forget about it.

Not the be and all end of all, but think its fair to say there is unfinished business.

Yup, sums it up for me. St. Patricks day massacre anyone?

By that I mean let's have another result and atmosphere like that day, superb!

 

[Notters]

Where's the option for "TWO of THE games of the season, but I hate it". A couple of victories would change that though.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Not bothered by Palace one little bit. I guess I used to have a bit of the local rival animosity, but don't care any longer - football is far too trivial in life to hold any great animosity.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

The atmosphere is usually a lot more intense which adds to the spectacle, and I like the pantomime rivalries generate, but I can't say I pay much attention to them or it beyond this. But this is the same with all football teams. That said I chose the forthcoming Brighton Palace over a Billy Bragg gig.

I simply don't care. They're just another team in the way of us reaching our goal of survival this season.

 

[PWA]

Massive.

 

[Marshy]

Sure they are big games, ones i really want to win, but no bigger than Liverpool, Man U, Man City, Arsenal and Spurs for me.

I dislike all the additional hassle that came into place for the away play off game. Even the staying behind and herded about just makes for a bad experience.

 

[Goldstone1976]

Priority 1: stay up, even if we lose twice to Palace
Priority 2: Beat Palace, above all other teams
Other priorities: null return

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Definitely two of the games of the season. Would absolutely hate to lose. Winning would have us on cloud nine - but it wouldn't make or break my season either way

Massively on form today. Two crackers before 09.00.

I've peaked early. Its all downhill from here.

Moth into the light bulb - a touch of genius, not seen that one before.

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

For me, since the opening game of the 74/75 season, no other opponent comes close.

The tear ups, the doubles, the heartaches, the piss taking (even more apt now they've got Blue Rinse Hilda in charge!).

There's something about our meetings with them which I've (mostly) enjoyed and always look forward to days in advance of the game. Don't feel the same about any other club.
