Big game for both clubs this tonight. Palace vs Brighton. A so called Derby.


Reckon a 2-1 win either way.

Bottled out of betting on it though.

Fans don't like each other for some reason

Palace preferred having the row with Brighton than Millwall which is just 6 mile away.

There was a series of niggly Cup ties in the late seventies, lots of broken legs and Alan Mullery agitating the crowd. At one point Brighton had a penalty disallowed for encroachment after a Palace player shoved a Brighton player into the box.

I think for a long time though Palace was, technically, Brighton's closest League team...

People in Brighton commute and work in London.

Therefore its a derby?

We could have a derby between Blues fans who want Blues to win, and those who want Blues to lose under Rooney…..
