Many of us on here detest them more than Palace, I always do a mini fist pump moment when I find out they've lost!
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

They are our traditionally historic rivals not CPFC, I am like you love to see them losing and struggling.

I've never bought into this. Pompey are and have always been historic rivals with Southampton, we're not even on their radar in that respect. Whilst I dislike them intensely, and have taken great joy from their spectacular fall from grace and subsequent prolongued shitness, there's never really been a PFC / BHAFC rivalry to speak of. Mutual disdain is about as far as its gone I'd say.
Were there ever any anti-Pompey chants going up at the Goldstone prior to the Palace rivalry ? Bet there weren't.
A good mate of mine is a Pompey fan.
As part of his 50th birthday celebrations, we are going to their game this Saturday v Newport County.
Should be an interesting day..................

MASSIVE myth
People often say they were our 'great rivals in the late 60s'. We played them FOUR times in the sixties, and FIVE times in the 70s.
We played Palace five times in one SEASON in 76/77
Altogether, we've played Portsmouth 43 times in nearly 100 YEARS of League football.
Palace on the other hand, over 90 times

Over this side of the County Pompey are hated and it is reciprocated although deep down they have to hate Southampton more, it's an image thing.
Pompey are ahead of Palace for hate-ability in my book and if you ask the longer term residence of this part of Sussex i am sure most will agree, albeit when they are away from the AMEX and any Brightonians!

Sure, I can well believe that SOME Albion fans hate Pompey more than Palace, and that could be a proximity thing if you're in the west of the county.
But we're talking "traditional rivals". They have never been our traditional rivals. Any football fan who truly knows his spuds would say its Pompey/Southampton and Brighton/Palace. At no point did we "switch" from a Pompey rivalry as such, its just never been there.

Yup, very much a geography thing. I live in Chichester which, aside from a fair amount of plastic supporters, is Pompey territory. I respect the crowd sizes they've been getting in the bottom division, and a few are alright, but they are a pretty clueless, contemptible bunch of skate botherers.
There is no traditional rivalry, but they're not keen on us either, and I think a lot of that at the moment is good old fashioned jealousy, long may it continue.

AGREED Mouldy. Always been Pompey territory around Chichester, Bognor, littlehampton. We have a good foothold in these areas but what bugs me is Sussex residents supporting a Hampshire club. I know what the replies would be....Chichester is only a few miles away from Portsmouth while Brighton is nearly an hour away. Still bugs me though.

In the 50s most supporters in Worthing were split between either BHA (Div III South) or Portsmouth (div 1) also Southampton were in the same division as us.

Bet this has caused enormous excitement in the Bell End at Fratton Park.
Maybe they could change it to the Tinkerbell End.

This thread should include a Poll, not who is our biggest rivals but which club do you detest the most? Portsmouth or Palace?

Hey Easy, i will still go along with our Palace rivalry, however beating Pompey and being in a higher division gives me soon much pleasure endlessly.
They have been off the smug-ometer for far to long. This side of Sussex are now revelling in it.
Just hope this Disney guy is thinking of making Fratton into a theme park.

Littlehampton is Albion territory, anything west of L.A is Pompey.

I like Portsmouth, an unpretentious club with a good fanbase of loyal supporters and city centre (ish) stadium.
Have always found Southampton arrogant, as if they own all football south of London. Posh prick Rupert Lowe and the physio Adkins were two good examples of this.

How are those gobby Pompey north of the downs at the moment Gullsworth?
Very quiet lately. But I am sure they will re surface if they gain promotion. Interest in Albion has eclipsed them among the neutrals. Lots of locals now regularly visit the Amex, probably many more than frequent that cesspit Fratton Park.
