Just read that and there is a quote from Mullery saying Portsmouth and Brighton are 20 miles apart.

It all started on 12th January 1963, when Crystal Palace fans made the most of the snowy conditions to build a snowman outside the Goldstone. It was a magnificent sight with a claret and blue scarf and woolly hat. When the Glaziers defeated Albion 2-1, Brighton fans smashed it up.
Palace fans then took retribution, causing trouble ten years later at a 'friendly' match in Brighton in 1973, but the Albion won the match 2-1.
Since then, it's been pretty feisty ever since, with 26,000 attending the match on the opening day of the 1974/75 at the Goldstone, where again there was violence.
When Brighton won 1-0 at Palace in September 1975, thanks to Barry Butlin, John Vinicombe wrote: 'The exchanges were conducted in a cup-tie atmosphere, and the cut-and-thrust carried through with the zest of deadly rivals.'

One thing I hate almost as much as Palace is BHA fans who try to diminish the rivalry. You don't have to hate them if you lack the courage to take the sting when they beat us, but don't call it a myth, I've got scars to prove it's real.
It might make no sense, but what aspect of being a Brighton fan does?

I am neither media, nor juvenile.....I hate them.....with a passion, if they went out of business tomorrow, I would rejoice in that.......its that straightforward for me.
....but I don't let it run my life....only in a football context...

It opens for me squire.
Blackburn suffers with high immigration and unemployment, like many other towns in the area.
