[Albion] Our top five rivals

[Luke93]

Palace. Portsmouth. Saints. Millwall. Orient.

Remember what happened when we played WACCOE at Elland Road in 2012? Our games against them have always been a little bit naughty.

Lot's of our games take on a bit of extra meaning for whatever reason.

But come on, we're isolated here on the South coast. We need an excuse to have an extra enemy or two

There's always some teams to wish ill upon, like Middlesbrough. I just wouldn't go as far as calling them rivals. It also feels a little embarrassing calling someone a rival when they don't feel the same.

I've found that we end up hating pretty much every other team, and then us, as soon as we start playing against them. several teams in this premier league that I used to like i can't stand anymore.

Palace are really our only rivals but I can’t stand the skate tw@s either.

Most other Premier League teams annoy me in some way due to either having a massive sense of entitlement or sheer tin pot smuggery (hello Bournemouth). In that respect it was a shame we lost Fulham (great day out, inoffensive middle class fans) and Cardiff, just because a really good mate is one of their boyos and had a couple of good days out with him when we’ve played them. Of the new lot I can’t imagine hating Sheffield Utd, except we’ll probably give Billy Back From The Dead Sharp stick and it’ll all kick off from there.

I used to like Bournemouth, like Newcastle, like Huddersfield, like Leicester, but since we've started competing with them I can't stand any of them

Surprised no-one has mentioned Southend......would say we had more of a rivalry with them than teams like Chesterfield, Cardiff and Orient for instance.

And only a little further back Orient, Oxford and Cheaterfield.

i was thinking these 3 after Palace and Pompey but then probs more of thing of the past.

Orient were our Palace when we were in League 1 and 2 for me

Palace are Brighton’s rivals I would struggle to think of any others in 2019. Some of the other clubs mentioned such as Oxford/Cardiff, most Brighton fans would have been oblivious to any ‘rivalry’ as only the couple of hundred hoolies involved in the shenanigans would have been aware. And the police of course

Don't get Man Utd being in that list. Odd !

How about that they are the second most supported Premier League team in Sussex (guess)?
Sometimes I get the feeling that most of Albion’s lost generation of fans support them. Places like Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and East Grinstead are full of the red plastics.

Rivalries develop amongst the people you see all the time and live locally to you. There out Man Utd fans everywhere in the county.
