[Albion] It will be at least 90 Years now.

According to 11 v 11: https://www.11v11.com/teams/brighton-and-hove-albion/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Crystal Palace/, 7 September 1932 was the last time Palace fans could celebrate doing the double over Brighton & Hove Albion.

I can't be sure that this is correct because I wasn't born then. I suppose we could ask nonagenarians Michael Caine or Joan Collins, but then neither of them were born then either. Their last double triumph precedes not only WWII, but Hitler being elected. He actually got his German citizenship that year. It just about coincides with the BBC's first experiments of television broadcasting. It precedes the 'Bodyline' Ashes tour and the first ever Royal Christmas radio message, the text of which was written by Rudyard Kipling. In America, prohibition was still to be repealed. The actual Crystal Palace was still standing back then. The fire that destroyed it wasn't until four years later. Our current queen was six years old, wasn't yet in direct line to the throne and her grandfather was still king.

Neal Maupay's last minute equaliser tonight means that it will be the 2022/23 season at the earliest before they get another chance.

Back then, the games were played a week apart. 1932-33 season is their last double over us, with ours being 2018/19 over them.

Indeed. Back in those days I remember we had a gobby French bloke who could score a goal that would send our fans into raptures and theirs straight to the blood pressure clinic.

Interesting fact, not a lot of people would know that.
