"Super Kev eyes Brighton scalp but says derby tag is ‘stupid because it’s miles away’"
"Kevin Phillips finds it “bizarre” that a Crystal Palace clash against Brighton is seen as a derby and says the Eagles must forget how high the passions run when Albion visit Selhurst Park on Friday in the first leg of their Championship play-off semi-final.
Hope Brighton win. Very friendly fans, been through a lot and a club trying to do things well at their new stadium. In terms of ideas and making supporters (even away ones) welcome I thought they did a good job and maybe something that could be learned from? Suspect almost all of South London will be hoping for a Brighton win.

The following conditions of sale have been agreed by the two clubs, the Metropolitan Police and Sussex Police: 1. You must be a season ticket holder to purchase a ticket and only one ticket will be available per season ticket holder. 2. Your details and seat number will be made available to Crystal Palace FC, the Metropolitan Police and Sussex Police. 3. The ticket may only be used by the purchaser. 4. All away fans must carry a separate document which confirms their identity. 5. You agree to hand over your ticket and identity document for examination by a police officer or steward at the stadium or en route to or from the stadium. 6. Failure to produce the ticket and an identity document for examination will result in refusal of entry to the match and any future matches this season. 7. There will be a one year exclusion for anyone who is found to have handed over or sold a ticket to any other person. 8. There will be a one year exclusion for anyone who is found in possession of a ticket issued to another person.
That is f'n ridiculous. If deemed a 'success', they'll do it for a league fixture. Then there will be a knock on effect on other matches around the country. Anyone thinking 'oh but if you're not a trouble maker it won't matter' is missing the point.
Yep come on you Seagulls.....met the Seagulls downunder contingent last year in Sydney, good bunch of blokes and they love the fact we hate Palace. Loved the new stadium and like their brand of football, so I hope they make it to the PL.....their fans deserve it alone.

I don't think being a Brighton fan for the week will be too much of a challenge. Up the Seagulls!

4-1 over two legs
If so then that is an absolute joke, regardless of what teams are involved.
