We have our rivalry with Brighton but some of you may know a couple of lads from down that way were tragically killed in the Shoreham air show crash the other day:

Brighton and Hove Albion Chief Executive Paul Barber and manager Chris Hughton have paid tribute to two young footballers who were killed in the Shoreham plane crash.

Matt Grimstone was a groundsman at the club's training ground in Lancing. He also played as goalkeeper for Worthing United.

He was killed when a car he was travelling in with fellow Worthing player Jacob Schilt was struck by the vintage jet.

Mr Barber said the whole club was devastated to 'have lost two young men with their whole lives ahead of them.'

A minute's silence will be held ahead of their next home match against Hull.

Jacob Schilt played in the last three REMF games between Palace and Brighton fans. REMF is a charity set up in the aftermath of another terrible tragedy, in honour of Robert Eaton, who died in the 9/11 attacks.

At times like this we should put the rivalry aside for a while and pay our respects to the families of these young men, and all others who died at Shoreham

Couldn't agree more Seth. One that Shankly definitely got wrong.

My nephew was best mates with Matt Jones who also died, another brighton lad, so rivalry is out the window at the moment

Boyce 75 maybe they wouldn't maybe they would. We rise above such nonsense.

As Palace fans we should and do care.

Yes they would. I think most people with an ounce of humanity would see how trivial football rivalry is compared to events like this

 


the dignified don't even enter in the game

A matter of opinion mate.
How many or how few weed fans shed (showed?) sympathy re. Paul Nixon is irrelevant.
What is relevant is that anyone with a shred of decency will have sympathy for anyone in such circumstances.

 


Is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour? [Link]
