So was I mate, but I don't need a 'newby's guide to the Brighton/Scum rivalry' to know what went on then.

I knew Mullery had something to do with it and did he mot slate us that year which caused it all.

Something like that. You've not seen the famous photo of Mullers extending the fingers of friendship to the Scum fans then?

I was at Stamford Bridge that fateful night.

To me Prosser is a saint compared to Challis

As the old saying goes....." We will remember "

I was in the long trousers, long lank greasy hair and tank top age group.

That`s it. It`s all coming back to me now. I had to ask my brother for all the details and that was brought up in the conversation. Still his career went the same way as his gestures.

Rachid harkouk...now there is a blast from the past


Stood on the East terrace...yells out..." Oi Rachid...I have some dollars here" " f*** off" came the reply from the pitch.

Ah happy memories. I have been told to f*** off by two professional players...Rachid Harkouk and Wendy Wilkins( Mel Sterland the extremely useless fat twat who played for l***s had a run and shot on goal at the Goldstone...wendy ran beside him and tried to hit him with his handbag... I shouted something along the lines of " bad luck" and he told me to f*** off

I watched a video of some old Palace games and it happens to have Rachid Harkouk on there playing against Millwall and i tell you what he is a dead ringer for Jim out of rosie and jim the kiddies programme. It also has a great game v Brighton at Selhurst packed to the rafters and sorry you lost 3.1 from 1979.

I can`t honestly remember. Maybe i was at home bashing the hell out of my sisters cuddly Andy Pandy for wearing a Blue and White outfit.

The rivalry exploded in the 76/77 season, when the clubs met 5 times. Alan Mullery, then Brighton's manager became public enemy number one with Eagles fans.
Four of those matches attracted crowds of 27000 and 30,000 ; the exception being an FA Cup first round, second replay at neutral Stamford Bridge, which has gone down in Albion-Palace folklore for a referee branded 'Challis of the Palace' by both sets of fans.
Referee Ron Challis disallowed a Brighton goal for an alleged handball by Peter Ward, although Palace defender Jim Cannon later admitted he had pushed the striker and the goal should have stood. Then Chris Cattlin was fouled in the box by Barry Silkman and Challis awarded Brighton a penalty.
Brian Horton took it and scored, but the referee made him take it again because some of their players had encroached into the box. Alan Mullery said, 'I've never seen that since; a penalty scored but re-taken because of encroachments by the defending team and I still don't understand it. He took it again, but the keeper (Paul Hammond) saved it. I was diabolical with rage. The penalty was the culmination of a lot of things and it was just one of those nights when the referee gave us nothing.
Palace held on to win 1-0 and, at the final whistle, a furious Mullery stormed onto the pitch to confront Challis.
'He wouldn't talk to me about it at the time and I never spoke to him about it,' Mullery adds. 'As I walked off, Palace fans were spitting and throwing tea at me so I reacted the same as any manager would have. I stuck my fingers up at them. It was instantaneous, spur of the moment.'
Although he cannot remember his exact words, it was reported Mullery yelled, 'You're not worth that, Palace!' as he threw a handful of notes and coins into a puddle.
Mullery was led away by police and later fined £75 by the FA.

Any other reasons aside, the only reason you can now switch a cup tie is for health and safety or security reasons (i.e not for financial gain) and as 725 Palace fans came down a couple of years back I can't see it being an issue.

Well, not much of one anyway.

Why would we want them in the cup anyway? surely we would want someone decent.

Any reason why you use Stevenage as your example?
