Very true and most of the time there is a better atmosphere at Crawley !

I agree - I went to watch Crawley bear Barrow 4-0 the other week - and I enjoyed it much more than any Brighton game i've been to at Withdean this season (with the exception of Man City).

dont think so they will soon be a couple of leagues above brighton,

Nope. I cant see anyone getting excited about Crawley to be honest!

If Crawley were to make it into the league and we continue this current trend of staying in the bottom two divisions (and Palarse yo-yo between the Prem and Div.1 as they have been) I can see our younger fans interests evolving into a hatred of Crawley whilst the next generation of pikies will possibly continue with their Charlton thing.

So maybe one day.

For the reasons you post, I'm actually baffled as to why Palace still consider us rivals really. We've been different class for about two decades now, sadly.

Many Palace fans do but many don't Simmo

true unfortunately, if its raining i'd rather go and watch a crawley match, theyve at least got a roof!

Albion v Crawley would be like Leeds v Doncaster Rovers.

You wonder where Crawley will be in 20 years time. That area has been earmarked for development, the population catchment area is bigger than that of many league clubs and they're already top of the Conference.

The thing is a rivalry only takes off when the clubs play each other on a regular basis, and that isn't likely in the foreseeable future.

Can't see any Crawley fans posting on here. To be honest I think there are more Palace in Crawley than Brighton, so maybe they may hate us more, they probably do, just because we're Palace !!!!!!!!

It's now in the blood that is why.

More Chelsea than anything else

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

if we were playing crawley regularly then i'd imagine a rivalry would develop

schools may have a number of both crawley and brighton fans MIXING and therefore for younger fans the crawley rivalry would be stronger than the palace one

it's POSSIBLE

Indeed. Crawley is crawling with Chelsea. Neither Palace or Brighton barely feature and I wouldn't say one is supported more than the other, tbh.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Can't imagine anyone ever getting excited over crawley, to be honest. Although, for the reasons T.L stated I guess hypothetically it's possible in the future...but really, Crawley?!

Would love to go to Witden following Crawley, but to be honest I don't think we would see you as a derby. It's a big dream of ours to draw you in the cup again!!
