[BensGrandad]

Most of the younger fans would have hardly seen us play Palace but they still hate them and Ben asked me' Grandad why do Brighton hate Palace' and do you know I couldnt give him an answer but my sons just chipped in and said because they are pikey scum from Croydon, the pits of the earth, but what is the reason. I have only been supporting BHA for about 60 years and honestly do not know the answer as to why.

60 years an Albion fan and you don't know the history?

Shame on you!!

If you dont know about Stamford Bridge in '76, when you would've been in your thirties, you havent been supporting the club as long as you claim!!!

The following is part of an article from 442 :


The seeds of this seemingly unlikely rivalry were sown in a pub at West Street,
Brighton, on Christmas Eve, 1975. In response to Palace fans shouting ¿Eagles¿
Albion supporter Lee Phillips started a chant of ¿Seagulls¿.
It caught on when the teams met two months later, prompting Albion to change
their nickname from the Dolphins.

The rivalry exploded in the 76/77 season, when the clubs met 5 times. Alan
Mullery, then Brightons manager became public enemy number one with Eagles fans.
Four of those matches attracted crowds of 27000 and 30,000 ¿ the exception being
an FA Cup first round, second replay at neutral Stamford Bridge, which has gone
down in Albion-Palace folklore for a referee branded ¿Challis of the Palace¿ by
both sets of fans.
Referee Ron Challis disallowed a Brighton goal for an alleged handball by Peter
Ward, although Palace defender Jim Cannon later admitted he had pushed the
striker and the goal should have stood. Then Chris Cattlin was fouled in the box
by Barry Silkman and Challis awarded Brighton a penalty.
Brian Horton took it and scored, but the referee made him take it again because
some of their players had encroached into the box. Alan Mullery said, ¿I¿ve
never seen that since ¿ a penalty scored but re-taken because of encroachments
by the defending team ¿ and I still don¿t understand it. He took it again, but
the keeper (Paul Hammond) saved it. I was diabolical with rage. The penalty was
the culmination of a lot of things and it was just one of those nights when the
referee gave us nothing¿
Palace held on to win 1-0 and, at the final whistle, a furious Mullery stormed
onto the pitch to confront Challis.
¿He wouldn¿t talk to me about it at the time and I never spoke to him about it,¿
Mullery adds. ¿As I walked off, Palace fans were spitting and throwing tea at me
so I reacted the same as any manager would have. I stuck my fingers up at them.
It was instantaneous, spur of the moment.¿
Although he cannot remember his exact words, it was reported Mullery yelled,
¿You¿re not worth that, Palace!¿ as he threw a handful of notes and coins into a
puddle.
Mullery was led away by police and later fined £75 by the FA.

The rivalry became even fiercer as Eagles boss Terry Venables continued to pit
his wits against Mullery, his former Tottenham team-mate.
Palace replaced Portsmouth as Brighton¿s biggest derby match during the late
70¿s and the rivalry became enormous. Mullery explains,¿ We were doing the same
thing that Palace were doing ¿ getting promotion with a manager in the limelight
and big crowds. There were 33,000 at Brighton every home match.¿
Both clubs went up from div 3 in that season of cup controversy ¿ the Seagulls
as runners up and Palace in 3rd place.

Brighton gained promotion from Div 3 as runners up & Palace in 3rd place.

Albion missed promotion on goal difference the following season as Spurs went up
amid suggestions of a final day carve-up in a 0-0 draw with Southampton, who
were also promoted. Palace finished 9th but scuppered Albion¿s chances by
drawing both derbies.

Brighton eventually gained promotion to the old First division winning 3-1 at
Newcastle on the final day of the 1978-79 season but even then there was a
Palace related twist. The Eagles pipped Mullery¿s men to the title by a point as
a record crowd of 51,482 watched Venables¿ side confirm their own promotion
beating Burnley.
Brighton tore Palace apart in front of 28,000 at the Goldstone on Boxing Day 79,
as Ward gave Cannon the run around & Horton exorcised the penalty demon by
scoring to make it 3-0.
In 80/81 Brighton did the double over Palace and enabled them to stay up,
whereas Palace were left adrift at the bottom of the division by 13 points.

June 81 Mullery resigned after a boardroom row and a year later Ron Noades
appointed him Palace manager. Many Eagles fans boycotted the club in protest.

Following the Seagulls 1983 FA Cup final appearance and relegation from the top
flight, battle resumed in Div 2 with Brighton winning the next 3 matches but it
was a 1-1 draw at Selhurst in April 1985 that added most to the ill feeling
between the two sides, when Palace¿s Henry Hughton¿s leg breaking tackle ended
Gerry Ryan¿s career.

Brighton¿s relegation in 1987 put a brief stop to the fun and games but back in
div 2 88/89 Albion won a 3-1 dingdong on Boxing Day at the Goldstone. Palace got
revenge at Easter with a 2-1 win but they missed a golden opportunity to
humiliate their rivals. They were awarded 4 penalties but they missed 3.

Kerry Mayo says even at youth and reserve level there is no love lost between
the clubs. A youth match in 96 resulted in 3 Palace players, 2 Brighton players,
the Palace coach and a spectator were all sent off in a match that Brighton won
2-0.

Many of the meetings in the 70¿s & 80¿s had serious crowd trouble. Ref Ron
Challis threatened to abandon a League game in Feb 76 if the Palace fans
continued to throw smoke bombs.

We hate palace

Fine words from a website I've Googled:

"Love and hate are two sides of the same coin. They are not opposites as most people quickly assume. What love and hate have in common is that you care. What is the opposite of caring? Not caring. So the opposite of love is indifference."

I'm indifferent to Palace. They don't register on my radar.

Was Alan Mullery thought of as a traitor by Albion fanswhen he joined palace?
Was Steve Coppell thought of as a traitor by Palace fans when he joined us?

I work with Palace fans and love winding them up. It is terrible in the office when they are on a winning streak as they talk as if their team walks on water. Their latest slow slide down the Championship suits me fine and I remind them of their inadequacies on a daily basis. I miss that goalie who wore the pyjamas though as he was a great source of hilarity.
