Err..your rival team could have been Lewes FC not so long ago.

As a Croydonian born and bred I think your analogy to the surroundings of Selhurst is pure vindictive bile.
Most Brighton fans I think accept now that this pure unblinkered dislike of Palace is old hat, and that we all have better things to do.
Palace do have a problem atm, that problem is Simon Jordan. But a football club is bigger than one man, or two if you want to remember the Archer/Bellotti days.
If we get a manager like Steve Coppell, the future is good, we're only one division away from the big-time and we've spent a total of a over dozen seasons there. We've pulled home crowds of up to 50,000 and regularly got over 25,000 in the top league.
Let's just see what crowds you actually get in at Falmer, shall we?


Crowds of 50k :lol: When was that 1930? F*cking hell.
We took 30k+ to Cardiff a few seasons back so we've got a following out there too, don't worry about Falmer and us.

It's easy to get 25k+ in the top league. I'll point you back to attendances in the 70's and 80's.
How many clubs would survive with 150 mile round trips for home games, that would be a better analogy.
