Ha i might start a thread myself in a moment-
**Palace- lose at Wembley and you'll never play us again after next season,which is bad for the rivalry,still the double drop will be the least of your worries,as you struggle to stay in the league after a 3rd admin**
But i won't there's not...
Well,300 went on the rampage in 1985 at Selhurst (a Palace fan was stabbed),42 were arrested at Brentford in 1987, when all 4 pubs were smashed up,Arsenal said we were game as in 1988,Pompey away in the early 90's saw us having running battles in an evening game,with Brighton starting the...
Whilst we have some "right tasty geezers" on the whole we do not have a major hooligan problem,not to say we cannot or have not caused problem or for that matter stood our ground.

Season 1980/81
18/04/1981 League Crystal Palace 0-3 Brighton
27/12/1980 League Brighton 3-2 Crystal Palace

05/04/1980 League Crystal Palace 1-1 Brighton
26/12/1979 League Brighton 3-0 Crystal Palace...

I could put it another way-who is Brighton's best striker,of all time?
A-Peter Ward 36 Goals in a season (remains a club record)

B-Michael Robinson 19 goals...

Palace will take every opportunity to get one over on us, would the OP leave his front door unlocked tonight in a demonstration in the faith of goodwill and human nature too.
