Poll to follow

No option for whether it depends on the result, just your feelings should we both end up winning our play off semis, assuming we get there.

As much as I know a win would be one of the best ever Albion days, a defeat would definitely be the worst feeling I'd ever have felt about an Albion result

Worryingly it is a very real possibility....

Love and hate. It would cement the rivalry, but I'd probably have a heart attack before kick off at the prospect of a defeat.

I'd relish it...until we surrender the lead in injury time (Murray header) after battering them all game and then go on to lose

I'm not sure my nerves could stand it, particularly if it ended up with a penalty shootout.

In theory I'd love the idea. In reality, the way we have played against them the last 3 times (yes I know, one was a draw), I wouldn't fancy our chances at all so it could be awful.

Obviously, the Albion pricks and the Palace pricks would spoil it before and after the game but during it would be fantastic. The atmosphere would be amazing. We could sing songs of the Wembley arch or something.

Even the Palace fans won't admit they're Palace fans in a poll.

I'd love it, but christ it would be nerve-wracking

I would love to be in the play off final irrespective of the opposition

Even if we ended up staying down and Palace went into the Premier League?

Anyone other team and I'd really look forward to it and could stomach a defeat whilst probably loving the atmosphere. However unless we were 3 goals up against Palace I'd just hate it, especially the last 20 mins if we 1-0 up :down:

Well we are certainly due a good result against them, but I really wouldn't want a playoff final to be 'complicated' by the rivalry issue.

It would be nervy enough anyway, and I certainly couldn't come near this board afterwards for months if we lost to Palace, as the gloating would be impossible to deal with.

It's the impossible question. On the whole I think I'd rather avoid it.

If we were not good enough to win and gain promotion this year I would accept it but this is taking into account yesterday article in The Sun about TB racehorse for the National and they said that he had placed a bet that we would be in The Premier by 2015. I think that we will go for it next season for automatic.

I have voted "Other"

Other translating to-

I am a Brighton fan and playing the Arch enemy at the New Wembley would give me so much pleasure,so much pleasure indeed.

Even allowing for the fact that it would still mean Crippled have been there more than we have (well it would be our first ever visit) it would give me heart plapatations *sod the spelling* for weeks,months before,and years after..

We could match there support in every department,both on and off the terraces,i may even sing one of my old skool classic's?

(no i will)-oh i do like to be beside the seaside,oh i do like to be beside the sea,oh i do like to stroll along the prom prom prom where the brass band (huh 100 years ago maybe,perhaps we could lobby the greens for reintroduction of our heritage) plays f*** off westbrom (only 1 team called ALBION) oh i do like to be beside the seaside (ha we can crippled alice can't) oh i do like to be beside the sea,with a (now yo may prefer another tipple but for the purpose of the song) Larger in my hand SMASHING PALACE IN THE SAND,besides the seaside,besides the sea.

Anyway i digress,i would love it,love,i would LOVE it if we beat them (sound a bit like Kevin Keagan now) smash them at Wembley after the delusions they have had this season,would be beautiful.
