Why do we hate Palace so much...

[catfish]

My son hates Palace - and he hasn't been born yet.

who is going to pay our laundry bill? They are only just above us and must be having constant nose bleeds.
Call themselves Palace but say they don't like Queens, go figure.
What's to like.
The only good thing about Selhurst was when Wimbledon played there.

My baby due in march despises Palarse with a passion, its in the bloodline to hate the scum.

Thing is it's one sided. We hate them because they were the 'local' club in the days of hooligans and the old third division. They couldn't care less about Brighton as they have closer London teams. The rivalry only merges when the play us.

This is uneducated nonsense. In a recent poll on their forum we were their most hated team by quite a margin.

Absolute rubbish.

You appear to be confusing Palace-Brighton with Palace-Charlton.

This.

Charlton hate Palace but Palace just couldn't give a toss about them.

At their game at the Valley Charlton struck up the "We hate palace" chant which was met with Palace chanting "We hate Brighton".

I doubt there is anything quite as crushing as unrequited hatred , at qpr away two weeks ago and the last chelsea v fulham game i went to at stamford bridge , both qpr and fulham fans went puce with rage at the " we dont hate you, cos you're shit" chants from chelsea.

 

[SeagullSongs]

It's a love-hate thing innit.

And yet football is full of this. You laugh at those two clubs, but lets be honest, Spurs are 100 times more concerned with beating Arsenal than Chelsea. I suppose West Ham v Chelsea has always been a big rivalry though.

But yes, it must be annoying to support a comedy club like Charlton, Gillingham or Bournemouth where nobody else really gives a f*** about them.

 

[albiongirl]

Why do you even have to ask that's the question!

 

[Dougie]

Never hated them before last season, but the behaviour of their utter goons in Brighton last year has caused them to be the one team I actively dislike. That and the bollox spouted by their deluded fukwits on here.

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

 

[rocker959]

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.

Arsenal v spurs has always been a big rivalry , but chelsea v spurs has been a massive match since the 70's if only for the hoooligan rivalry, certainly bigger than arsenal v spurs for that, and for a time when spurs were languishing mid table , arsenal were certainly more concerned with beating us, also , west hams big rivalry is with millwall, certainly has been since the 70's , and dont listen to any mythical bollocks about long ago dockers strikes, its based purely football violence and on south london v east london rivalry .

 

[Pbseagull]

Quite right , it's in our genes. My son hates Palace too.

I hate Palace, my Wife hates Palace, My 13 year daughter hates Palace, My yet to be born grandchildren and their descendants will ALL hate Palace.

I won't argue that Spurs/Chelsea was fuelled by hooliganism, but lets be clear about this - if I went to a Spurs forum and asked their opinion on beating Chelsea compared to beating Arsenal, there would be absolutely no comparison and you know it.

Sure , no argument there , but it would be pushing it to label chelsea spurs as unrequited hatred on our part, there are 5 teams that matter when it comes to LONDON rivalries that MATTER, , they are arsenal, spurs, chelsea, west ham and millwall, the rest , as in qpr , charlton, fulham, palace brentford, orient etc , dont.

 

[Paul Skinback]

I am sure you will all have a million reasons but I gather this all stems back to the Mullery / Venables days. Venables threw some coins out of his pocket at our fans intimating that we are a "two bit" club, this in itself is ironic looking at where we are today... Is this really what happened??

Hindsight is a funny thing, can come back to bite you on the arse. Little did we know that when TV was at the club he was milking it personally for all it was worth.

really ? how was that ? genuine question ?

 

[glasfryn]

for a short time after the Gerry Ryan incident yes I disliked them but now.................who gives a toss in fact if the go up this season along with the Albion I will be filled with joy at the prospect of
(A) getting a chance to find 6 points
(B) happy for all those poor sods who go to away matches as its not that far to go
(C) knowing we have the nous to stay up along with the money generated from our crowds and a decent ground
