[Football] Is it WRONG to refer to Palace vs Albion as the M23 Derby?

[Guinness Boy]

But Harry its another poll

Oh goody.....Pollgate? Or is that A27?

Strictly speaking it's a poll wot I added after it had been created without a poll

 

[studio150]

Could always be renamed 'the M23 smart motorway derby.'
With the emphasis on the smart, being in Sussex!

But aren't most of the roadworks turning the M23 into a smart motorway currently in Surrey?

But with sponsorship could be the Smartie Derby

People actually get uptight about it? That's funny in itself.

Wasn't there a thread on this recently?

As has been discussed ad infinitum, this is a made up term coined by lazy journalist, the likes of whom call Lulu "Lulu, the 'Shout' singer"....

Without wishing to derail this thread (oh, alright, let's not be disingenuously provocative...) is it just the Metro that does this? I can think of several real and made up examples of this that put my teeth on edge:

Katy, the 'I Kissed a girl' star, Perry
David 'gender bender' Bowie
Tom, the 'Delilah' belter, Jones
Michael 'donkeyjacket' Foot
Paul, the 'bottle top banner' Barber
Viv 'spend spend spend' Nichols
Pri the 'Purple rain' star nce

This thread was useless, but now....

How far away is the Amex from the M23? Over 20 miles.

I'd have more sympathy for the A23 derby nickname.

You don't really have to go any further than this post, apart from to state that the M23 is also a fair few miles from Selhurst Park as well. Has anybody worked out how many miles shorter the M23 is from the A23 route?

Should really be called the Alison v mullery derby.... something no one under 50 will even remember.

 

[Nixonator]

They call our games v Bournemouth 'South Coast derbies' which I have far more problem with.

When in fact it's actually Lulu the Boom Bang-a-Bang singer.

You could be onto something there
Bloody pedant

I stand corrected.

And I sometimes get her mixed up with Sandy 'the Puppet on a String' singer Shaw

The funny thing is, last week while watching a stream of the Burnley game 6 of us 5 Palace and 1 Fulham fan were talking about this and the Two youngest in their 20 s didn’t really care too much ,3 older fans in their 50s had Millwall as there rhate team and the Fulham fan couldn’t get his head round the rivalry or why we should care !

Although we love to beat you the hatred is much more a Brighton thing.... mind you we all live in Sussex.

Judging by BBS i think you are talking bollox.

To me, if a derby has to have a name, it should be something both have in common the M23 is not a part of Brighton or Croydon. It would be like calling a Brighton/Crawley derby 'The Pease Pottage Derby'.
