[Albion] Jonathan Pearce's son...

I work in waterlooville with a bunch of Portsmouth fans. The Albion really aren't on their radar. The scummers on the other hand...

of course they don't

imagine selhurst park was in Eastbourne

would we really give a flying about Pompey 40 odd miles down the coast

Go back a few decades and that most certainly wasn't the case. Derby games between the two clubs were truly massive. The Palace rivallry was largely manufactured during the 1970's.

I would say the rivalry developed in the 70's. It was definitely not manufactured.

And to be honest whenever we play them a lot of our fans have bad experiences of their hooligans.

AlwYs remember we played them at the Goldstone and they were in the east terrace....they stormed in to the pitch and headed for the north stand, who scattered ...

Glad we don’t play the “twats” anymore.

You don't remember when sets of both fans in the South spilled out onto the pitch and went toe to toe. Right proper skirmish pretty even by all a counts too. Yes they are a very proper nawtey bunch.

51 miles from Brighton to Portsmouth. 45 miles from Brighton to Selhurst.

I think you've missed my point

Pompey to Soton is what 15 miles

that's why Pompey don't give a monkeys about us

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I agree with your point and backing up that palace is a more suitable rival by distance as well.

 

[Seagull's Return]

We do. And jt's Palace.

I’ve seen JP with his son at hassocks station before a match. The boy was fitted out in Albion gear. But whatever, he can support who he likes.

Live in Hurstpierpoint don’t they? Not a million miles from Dunk

Billionaires Row.

Amazing money working for the BBC.

 

[Dave the OAP]

I thought they lived in ponyings opposite the Royal Oak

Almost directly opposite..........

It’s really not billionaires row.

 

[wellquickwoody]

They were in the 60s.

Which is somewhere between 50 and 60 years ago, not that relevant anymore is it?

 

[boik]

He sounds just as much of a bellend as his father

I presume you know JP really well then as I've met him several times and found him to be a really nice bloke.

 

[Jackthelad]

You always trot that out about Pompey but we've played them relatively few times and in most of Sussex they are not on anyone's radar at all.

Agree.

I dislike Southampton far more than Portsmouth.
