Brighton are not the enemy (nor are Millwall)

[Linford]

It’s always been Brighton in my eyes, first two fixtures I look out for every season. But view it as a “friendly rivalry” like the Merseyside derby.

Millwall is a retched club with a caveman fanbase, like their Scottish clones Rangers. Never liked them one bit, will view that as a more hostile rivalry if they do make it to the promised land in a few week’s time.

Charlton is a rivalry, but not major like Brighton and Millwall. As someone else said here, we all know a few Charlton fans and usually get on okay enough. Small brothers, small timers. Decent ground btw.

I have always disliked Chelsea, a lot of it for the way they’re run, even more so now under the Yanks (though you have to laugh at them sometimes.) Also have distaste for them cause of Ashley Cole and John Terry. Pair of dodgy arseh*les both of em.

The Brighton one has so much history behind it, some a bit silly, some serious, and as we meet regularly it helps keep it interesting. As towns we have historically mixed with each other a lot, and we still do go down there a lot even if they don’t come up here much anymore (because they’res F all left to come to now). Brightonians always shopped in Croydon, and Croydonians always holidayed in Brighton.

I take it you didn't go to many Charlton away matches. They also attacked Kayla didn't they? I got attacked by their whole crew on a train. We won but it was them that attacked us: despite any reports.

I vividly remember the real animosity with Brighton in the 1970s and 80s. I lived in Brighton then and used to dread going to our games at the Goldstone, so much was hanging on it.
For younger generations who missed out on that, I can see why the rivalry feels a bit contrived, but I suspect it's survived because it expresses a very modern class antagonism. Brighton is the home of the educated, pampered, middle classes; SE25 is part of the 'left-behind' Britain, run-down and tatty. When the Brighton supporters gather in the Arthur Waite and sing "What a shithole, we want to go home," they really mean it! Brighton is privilege, Palace is 'alarm clock Britain.' They are Remain, we are Leave. They are Waitrose, we are Lidl.

Yes, parts of it. But just out of town there's the likes of Whitehawk, Moulecomb, Bevendean etc., that wouldn't look out of place in SE25.

There's a difference between despising a club such as Chelsea and having a rivalry. A rivalry is a two way thing. Palace have a genuine rivalry with Brighton. And to a lesser extent, Millwall. Although the club I really can't stand was, is and always will be Charlton. That goes back way before Brighton came on the scene.

I never used to hate Charlton back in the day, until their new breed of support came along when they were last in the premier league and manufactured a rivalry with us because they had no one else to have one with. It niggled me because if it wasn’t for us they wouldn’t have a had a ground to play at in the late 80’s, but they weren’t around then until they started running buses up from Kent and they all jumped on the premier league bandwagon

The only ones that have attacked me are Charlton. Twice.

A festering turd of a club. Shame they didn't go bust

Errrmmmmm........the thuggery from 1970's is still fresh in one's mind, the way they used to treat black players back in the day and the fact they're just a useless bunch of neanderthal c****, pikeys and vagabonds.
And that's just the hotdog sellers!

So we are showing our softer side , I feel there is some love coming to towards our loveless south London neighbors , rest on the couch longer and tell me your most inner feelings

Brighton.
Proper 2 way rivalry, with some history.

Working in building trade, I often meet Brighton & ' Wall fans on jobs.
(so far) both are friendly to work with once the initial banters done, although ' Wall can be that extra day to soften .
One Millwall ceramic tiler I know is nothing but good luck for Palace if I bump into him on a job (which upsets him greatly)
However, Charlton..never had anything but down right petty low key aggression when ive been unlucky enough to cross paths.
theyre obsessed with us.
