I think we need to hold fire on this one until we know just how hard it was raining for that Wimbledon game? It must have been absolutely lashing it down.
Are you stupid?
Once again: I'm saying that right across football fans leave early, Brighton included. However, the way some Palace fans were pointing and laughing at Albion fans, we were led to believe that Palace and Selhurst Park were immune to this. I was impressed as I've seen early...
