It all goes back to the days Of Alan Mullery & Terry Venables being managers and playing 5 games in one season (1976-77) season. After the final whistle at one game, Mullery approached Challis to discuss the decision and was escorted off the pitch by police while flicking 'v-signs' and swearing at the Palace supporters in the stands. The Brighton manager then allegedly entered the Palace dressing room, threw five pounds on the floor and told Venables: "Your team's not worth that." Mullery was fined £100 by the FA for bringing the game into disrepute. Didnt help in th 80's when Mullery went from Charlton to Palace, then later back to Brighton.
joke of a club, the made up rivalry, defacing a mural, breaking open a fire exit and hurting there own stewards as well as making ticket buying fans miss 1st half.
current punchbags of the premier league also
150 including quite a few with tickets didn't even get in the game
My mate was one with a ticket that was refused admission. Complained about being kettled and over the top Policing that just moved everyone back to the station regardless of whether they wanted to go there.
I told him it sounded very much like how we were treated at their shithole a couple of years back when we lost 2-1 in the league.

He's a mate. Can you not have a word about the Belgian revolution and the great things happening down at the Valley? I would'nt let a mate suffer like that.

always is going to be risk i think involved when going to a "derby", no point bleating about it, if fans are going to play up what do they expect the police to do, overcrowding football grounds can be dangerous we've all heard of Hillsborough.
It's a made up rivalry. It started with Alan Murray flicking the Vs. Two tin pot clubs looking to become relevant.
I hope the police do something about the ultras. A group of boys walking around Brighton in balaclavas on a Tuesday afternoon isn't on.
The police should insist that each and every so-called Ultra provides a note from his mum giving permission to be out on a school night. I would suggest a note from their dads but that might prove more tricky.
@rananegra kind of agree but the distances involved for example
selhurst - the valley 11.4 miles
selhurst - amex 45.3 miles
also the notion that palace are a surrey team apart from a joke is not factually correct, in fact didn't they have "south london is ours" or something wanky like that, surely there rivals should be the wombles.
its the same as us having a rivalry with gillingham - which we don't and never will have no matter how much there pikey fans try to make one.
@palarsehater yes they've got a "South London is Ours" and did that cringey thing getting 5 S London borough's names into their shirts but to me that suggests they are not at all confident that it is true. I guess they need to make their minds up and have a rivalry with us/The Spanners/The Wombles if they really think they're South London or stick with Brighton if they really are Surrey. I don't see us (or indeed Millwall) having that sort of issue with identity.

I remember a game at selhurst where the old Bill made everyone go back to London whether they wanted to or not. F@ck me only lived a 15 minute walk from selhurst at time.
Think they were matched to the ground from a pub took over an hour when some bloke moaning should take 10 mins. Got to ground and not letting anyone else I'm gutted for them
Down to Brighton early, get "kettled" and walked to the ground by OB for safety. No contact with home fans. On arrival, kick a couple of doors and injured their own steward, no contact with home fans. Set of some flares for fun (probably). No home fans can see it, as they're in the ground. Get escorted back to falmer and put on the train to Brighton. On your own. No contact with home fans. Chances of a few pints in Brighton and a scrap with Brighton bods scuppered by OB. Straight on a train back to Thornton Heath, home fans still none the wiser. Successful trip and £40 saved on not buying a match ticket too. Good write up about "disorder" on the BBC, but no contact with home fans at all! Bizarre. I'm assuming they'll has the metal wall to protect the from Brighton fans when the visit Selhurst

Not really sure why they would want to rush the gates if they had tickets.
Brighton should speak to Keohane who knows a few heavies with reflective jackets. Those Nigel's would be about their level.
Hopefully the special customer relationship will have ended now.
