Palace fans getting their knickers in a twist

[bhaexpress]

What gets me is that they have called us a tinpot and small club in a crap stadium. Why ? Because we sold our ground to pay our debts. We have played at Withdean which is crap because that was the best we could get. We had smaller crowds because we were limited by Withdean's capacity, we have a set of players that we could afford.

Palace may have played at a higher level for much longer than we have but by going into Administration TWICE they have not paid their creditors. Why can they not accept the fact that they have not paid for their 'success' ?

point of order, Brighton had debts of about £5Million, the ground was sod for about 7/8Million, and sold a year later for 30dd million. It was not sold to pay debts, the goldstone was sold as an asset stripping scheme to make money out of a property transaction.

As for palae, always have been and ill be no mark Ngel's that have never won a charity shield and that will again now get smaller gates than us.

Cheating club, 99% of their support are deluded chavs and gangster wannabes from the arse-end of nowhere, with the odd decent bloke like Mark Steel who supports them for some strange reason (there are plenty of other clubs in the area you could have chosen Mark - you don't live in Carlisle after all). God how I'm looking forward to us entertaining them again. I hope they do stay up just so we can help relegate them next season.

Yes I do know that but the key thing is that we paid what we owed. Had Palace lived within their means they would have been at the same level as us at best and yet they still they have the nerve to sneer at us. Are Palace fans really all retarded ?

We and everyone else in the Football world can see and understand that bhaexpress.

They choose not to because it destroys their only claim to superiority over us. The little they have achieved over the past 20 years will always be tainted by the fact that they were not playing by the same rules as the rest of us. I think it is very apt that a Palace fan posts a picture of a pile of crap on here - as they are a Club that will be forever be associated with the stench of administration and wrong doing.

Im not one to stick up for the Nigel's but the fact is that after being asset stripped Brighton had Gillingham, then Withdean and were a lower league club. Some of us remember the mid 90s fight, the early 80s and the 70s. Some of us remember and know what Bighton is as a club. But 1995 is now 15/16 years ago and so fans who are 21 and below just wont have a clue, and if you are a 21 year old from Coulsdon then why should you. For our part tho' we have to leave the palace behind, sure the rivary will remain but Brighton will kick on and fulfill the potential it showed in the 70s and become a truly big regional club.

Nail, head, hit on, thank you It does make me angry that we are considered a lesser force by most of their fans because we didn't rip anybody off. Trying to get a Palace fan to understand that is like trying to teach a monkey to speak Russian.

Never mind, next season they'll see how a decent and honest club does it.

Don't get angry - deluded denial is an ugly trait. We see them for what they really are .

Personally I would love to see them relegated and floating around in the lower leagues (where they would have been without their deceit). Do you really want that unwashed shower at our new home - think of the cleaning costs

You are totally right. They seem to have no idea of why other teams may be upset about them continually flaunting the rules... on the contrary they seem to be quite proud of it!!

This was a reply from a dig about them being skint:

Do you read the newspapers,can you read.We have less debts than practically all championship clubs.They were wiped out after administration.

Cheats.

 

[peterward]

Yeah, the disgraceful buggers even didn't pay a £12000 St Johns Ambulance bill. Credit to their sensible fans though, who were outraged at that, and stumped up the cash. But for Simon 'complete twat' Jordan. What a disgrace, I am glad you lost all your money chasing a deluded dream.

Long live Tony Bloom

Quite amusing mentioning Tony Bloom in the same sentence as Simon Jordon. The best thing Palace can say is that Tony Bloom bailed us out, well yes he did. However both Jordon and to some extent did Mark Goldberg do the same for them and yet they still went into Administration, not once but twice. I would be interested to know just how much they 'saved' from those two Administrations. Also, despite the efforts of both Goldberg and Jordon who both lost a far from small fortune they are wel and truly vilified by a lot of Palace fans, complete disrespect for what both tried to do. It's not hard to see why both are now very bitter men.

Whatever happens to us down the road I hope that Tony Bloom never gets treated so disgracefully.

 

[colinz]

In Gus you trust.....I trust him too, that he will feck off as soon as a decent club comes calling.

You now have proper rivals, equals, so go trawl the Crawley boards you bellend.

Crawley is actually closer to Palace than Brighton, & with a ground capacity of 5,000, I fail to see how their new football league status can be of any threat to Brighton.
But for all those Palace fans who live south of London & North of Crawley, sick of negotiating South London's traffic on match days, here's how you can get to Crawley's ground. (assuming they increase their ground capacity)

From the M25 take the M23 Southbound towards Gatwick Airport and Brighton. At the end of the M23 (before it becomes the A23) leave the motorway at the last exit, Junction 11 (sign posted A264 Horsham, Pease Pottage Services). At the island at the end of the motorway slip road turn right onto the A23 going towards Crawley. Just as you approach the next traffic island (which on my visit had a large red and white football on it) you can see the stadium on your left. Turn left at the roundabout and then left again for the entrance to the stadium car park, which costs �2. 'There is an overflow car park in the offices at Broadfield Park, accessible from the A23 as you come down the hill from the motorway'. Otherwise street parking.

Crawley are not a threat. They're living beyond their means on funny money from God knows where and with Brighton's star burning so very brightly we are the default club for floating fans in Sussex now. I suspect Crawley will do well next season and then peak at that level before dropping back sharpish.

All this admin stuff about where they would be and where we would be is all supposition. Right now, I know which side I'd rather be supporting when we come to play them next season and for the first time in something like 20 years we can actually play them as proper rivals rather than the slightly embarrassingly broke side we've been in that time.

It was okay at the beginning but kind of lost its way in the middle. Choose deckchairs? What's that mean? Choose the dirtiest beaches in Sussex? What as opposed to those lovely Croydon beaches? You are aware that Brighton draws its support from across Sussex esp the Sussex coast too? You laboured the point about being in higher leagues as well. Gets a bit repetitive, you see.

You might also want to ditch the "Choose making umpteen lists" line too bearing in mind the length of your opus magnus (I love that Latin phrase. You can use it too if you like. You just need to find out what it means. Here's a clue - it's not a Transformer).

I did like it though and it does give us lots of reasons to support Brighton. I much prefer those than the choice you have - Living in Croydon and disappearing to Selhurst for 2 hours on a Saturday is the only time you're guaranteed that your mum's new boyfriend won't try to either fiddle with you or beat you.

Overall 6/10

Look, he's a Palace retard, he's just proud that his caravan has enough electricity to post that. Makes you wonder who actually typed it though, maybe his mother ? Can't possibly be his father as his parents only met once.

 

[daveybgtt]

That sure is a lot of

You must be very angry? Molested much?

 

[sir albion]

Palace fans will be fu$ked off as they are certain to drop through the trap door very soon,smaller crowds than us and no real future

Great times

How many seasons were you in the Premier league numbnuts??

How many years in the last 15 years have you been in the championship numbnuts

How many years have CPFC trawled footballs bottom divisions numbnuts

Champions of the turd tier of English football...wooooooooo. Punching above their weight, didn't they do well, so much better than last week.

14000 corporate prawn sandwich brigaders and 2000 teenage wannabes and you're still.

And he doesn't even call you a bunch of gays. Things are improving then,,
