Why do we hate Palace so much...

[JBizzle]

I don't hate Palace, I just think the matches are a bit spicy. It should be good fun, but for some it's a boring obsession. As for those who were boasting of the relative positions a few games ago, I hope you are suitably embarrassed.

Boasting about something as transcient as League Position is always an odd one. I am, however, strongly in the "despise Palace" camp. The reason? Their fans. As soon as any Palace fan finds out I am a Brighton fan the abuse it both boring an predictable as well as immature and quite graphic.

Added to that, there were an odd amount of Palace fans at my school and Brighton were awful between 1994 and 1999 (although the tail end of that was brilliant) and I vividly remember Palace fans taunting me throughout the Hereford game (we were on a school trip).

So I have different reasons for my dislike as I was born after the Mullery/Venables feud and I forget about it often. Its very easy to be reminded though when Palace are such a nasty and bitter little club.

I enjoy the banter but I don't hate Palace - some of their fans on here are no worse than some of ours on BBS. Actually hating football clubs is not something I do much of as I prefer to hate on an individual level I do hate Leeds though. And Celtic and Rangers. The bitter nerdrage I used to feel for Notts County has pretty much vanished now though.

To be honest the 1-0 Mcshane win at Smelhurst was a quality away day not to be forgotten.

Downlands in Hassocks. Hardly a hive of Palace supporting activity...

surprised that there were so many there.

Whilst loads of both sets of our fans still hate (detest) each other, I've mellowed over the years, perhaps coz I've got a few Bha supporting mates, obviously beating you at the Amex was sweet but taking the title off you on our last game in 1979 was sweeter.

Going by this id say your a youngish weed fan , so , apart from the result , what happened on that fateful night as to cause you to spout such anger and bile

See any thread from the time, when the search engine is back online. Worst behaviour and aggression from any visiting supporters, at the station.

Contempt would be more accurate than anger.

Definitely bile, though, towards the tossers who come on here running down the club I love, making up negatives, and giving no credit for fine work that has been done giving this club a very bright future.

Stinking slime pikey scumbags.

That is all.

Grown up with the rivalry, use to hate you when I was a youngster, but now I'm fast approaching middle age, I just want to get one over you, if that makes any sense.

The first 10 people I meet each day, I tell them to hate Palace
I then tell them to tell the next 10 people they meet
Word then gets round extremely quickly

That goal was celebrated by myself,brother and son in a delirious manner not seen since Hereford.

really ? how was that ? genuine question ?

The amount of cash that disappeared from the club through him is legendary at SP. Made a very tidy personal amount of cash through wages, player 'transfers'-in and out.

When he left to join QPR, he was joined by a large contingent of Palace players, funny that !

1st game of season 1974 Albion 1 Palace 0 , lots of extra trouble with holidaying London football hooligans coming to the game and boosting the aggro.Then grew and grew with many incidents over the next few years. End of story. Prior to that Palace were just another team to us. Now it is in the blood and will forever be.

Sums it up perfectly. I was at that game in '74 and I've hated the South London scum ever since, and I will hate them to my dying day.

Good point well put.

Of all the things typed on here tonight, i would say that this is a lie. Just a guess, but i'm going to call you a liar. A bore too. Before you bore off into a tirade of shit again telling me to fcuk off to my site blah blah, i've got 3 windows open, The Holmesdale, here and Twitter. (I put your full stops in).
