[Albion] Who are Brighton's biggest rivals?

[KnowRivalryJR]

Hi, Brighton fans!



Loughborough University is collaborating with UMass on the Know Rivalry project, an international study on sports rivalry.



Although we have some suspicions on who might take the top spot for you... it would be fantastic if you could take 5 - 10 minutes to fill out the survey and give us your thoughts on who is your club's biggest rivals: https://umassamherst.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3FdJ8eN2EgFCfCB?collID=10&grpID=1336



Previous results in the US have been featured in numerous sports media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. You can view those results, links to media coverage, and learn more about us at our KnowRivalry.com website



Some of you might remember our post last year and we have improved the survey content with the help of your constructive criticism!



Please share this with any fans that may also want to help!

Barcelona.

That lot up the A23. (Also known as the Nigels) No need for a survey.

 

[Durlston]

Crystal Palace. Always them.

There is geographically Portsmouth, who are known as tw@ts. Plucky little Bournemouth are an irritant, but less so since smug Eddie Howe left them. Southampton are surprisingly tolerable.

The hatred of Chelsea could turn very bitter if Judas Graham Potter leads them to the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and EFL Cup this season.

You must have given our days in the bottom two divisions between The Goldstone and Withdean a swerve I guess?

Orient were just a fling while our rivalry with Palace was on a break (mainly cause we were so shit), we still hated Palace more back then tho.

We did but Orient were our biggest rivals at the time, imo you need to be playing a team regularly to consider them your main rivals

We also had a brief flirtation with Cardiff, Reading and Saints as our biggest rivals imo

Well, obviously it's a local team. It's quite nawty when we play Crawley Town in pre-season friendlies. I've heard booing. But Horsham are their REAL rivals.

Whitehawk is the main ding dong, although since moving to Falmer we get GIP from Lewes.

NOTHING can rival Newhaven & Peacehaven though. Paper darts, bottle tops, the lot. [MENTION=28056]bn9 bha[/MENTION] is head of the Dockers Massive

Rival:
noun: rival; plural noun: rivals
a person or thing competing with another for the same objective or for superiority in the same field of activity.

Sorry but I don't consider that shower of shit up the road, our Rival. They're so far below us in quality, from players, fans, owners to ground, I can't think of them in that way.

But if the question was, which team do you dislike the most. Its them.

Burgess Hill.

Hove, actually

Those games were a bit lively, never a rivalry.

That’s reserved for Palace & Pompey only.
