Brighton hate Palace for one reason and one reason only. They are the closest team. Thats just the tradition in this country. Unfortunately Palace's closest team arent Brighton so its not a proper rivalry like say Saints Pompey.

I hate Brighton with every bone in my body, but I still respect the fans.

Glory hunters though, that's a different matter.

maybe it's just because i've always been surrounded by palace fans but i really struggle to hate them. almost all of the palace fans i know are what i'd describe as proper football fans and generally a good bunch, i have some of the best football conversations with palace fans too, whenever i speak with a chelsea fan i end up thinking they are a bit of a knob to be honest.

i do absolutely love the rivalry though and whilst some of the fans will no doubt want a tear up between themselves i'll be happy to enjoy the banter and atmosphere from the stands and ofcourse, the three points.

Once upon a time Brighton had a quallity international footballer by the name of Gerry Ryan. One evening at scummy Selhurst Park, a piky bastard broke his leg and ended his career. Good enough reason for me.

Oh, and Boxing day, some years earlier ....

One word of warning my fellow albion Croydon dweller. Be careful in understanding where the line is drawn between banter and 'tear-up' especially on match day.

Oh and our chums still see the need to 'joke' about it.

I don't hate Palace at all. My Dad was a Palace fan, his Dad was a Palace fan and my mum was a Palace fan - they're my family team.

UP THE PALLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

EDIT: And I'm from the Croydon area.

HYou poor sod! You would have been better off as an orpan than being associated with that lot!

Must admit I tend to agree. I used to go to some Palace games with my Palace-supporting Dad. Interestingly he never really considered the clubs to be 'real' rivals, I never really asked him who he thought were Palace's rivals, but he did have an irrational hatred of Chelsea ...

... or given the sad sight of people in places like Coulsdon and Purley wearing Chelsea shirts maybe it wasn't so irrational.

:lolol: Mum's now a Brighton fan as well, so redemption is possible!

EDIT: And when my Dad died my best mate said: "Sorry to hear about your Dad, but look on the bright side: at least there's one less Palace fan in the world!"
