Don't care about any other rivalry than my hatred for Palace!
Why do you hate them, what have they ever done to you?
Probably stabbings and deathssurprised(relieved_ that BHA-Palace isnt on the list..
and how do you measure a rivalry? number of games / arrests / insurance claims, for samage caused?
It is because he is told to hate Palace, he hasn't a clue why he is too young like a lot of posters
But isn' that how it should be? You grow up loving your team and hating your rivals...It is part of your clubs tradition.
I know a Palace fan from work who has a young son but has instilled in him the hatred for the Albion. When hostilities were resumed a few years back, in the lead-up to the 5-0 he & his Dad (the kids's Grandad) sat this lad down and explained why the upcoming game meant so much. He eventually decided not to take his boy along because he there was a massive chance of it going off.
But anyway, rivaly, like club support is passed on through the generations.
Albion & England forever.

Mate don't get me wrong i am at the age where i KNOW why i dislike Brighton and i make you right you should know who your rivals are, however if a group of say 50 Palace fans of under 25 was asked 'do you hate Brighton' i would have a fair bet that half of them would say 'why would i'
have to agree SJLM . next time our teams meet it will be zimmer frames at the ready for us 'not so young ones' eh?
Don't you worry HP us old gits will keep the rivalry alive and kicking!
