I have been asked to post this by a C****l P****e fan who is too lazy (or stupid :)) to register on this site. :albion2:


"It's doubtful that many of them would be able to remember"

Doing a bit of research into a project idea and wanted to ask you guys the following:

Where (in Brighton area), when and in what way/form could you physically see something that shows the history or present day situation/existence of the rivalry between the clubs (other than if there was to be a game played)

Something to think about:

The Top Ten British Rivalries

7.Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace - At first glance, it may seem strange that one of English football's fiercest rivalries is between two teams 60 miles apart, one of which is one south coast, whilst the other is in South London. However, the roots of the Albion-Palace enmity go back to a number of successively more and more bad tempered between the two clubs in the mid to late 1970s, which culminated in Palace snatching the Second Division (now "The Championship") title away from Albion on the last day of the 1978-79 season. The rivalry exists to this day, though if you ask the majority of supporters of either club how it came about, it's doubtful that many of them would be able to remember.

Thanks.
