hey you dont have to justify your actions to me nigel.its a no brainer isnt it?.brighton playing wonderful flowing football in a state of the art stadium with great atmosphere or erm erm palace at a run down scrapyard of a ground in a slummy area surrounded by people that dont know what soap is.
well done you made a great choice nigel.

You must be a kid, all Palace fans of a certain age will have bha as your rivals, but up to you..and grow up with your childish comments, if you want a debate try and do it without abuse, I do

As said all along your fans are just jealous at the moment and we accept that, maybe we were of you over the past few years, we are now in a better place than you, (opinion), an owner who has paid for our ground with an unsecured loan, no interest, convertable to shares, so no real deal and 1.6 million coming in each game. Where it would appear (opinion), although I understand from my mates that your owners have the good of Palace at heart, but did not pay off the creditors or help on any major finance input, but you say they are zillionaires, they are not really proving it are they ?

[i]Bobby, seriously. I'm 45, been a fan since 1977/78 season so don't patronise me with an ageism because I through abuse or sarcasm. Like I said, our real rivals (imo) will always be teams close to us, ala Charlton, Millwall and every other London club. You (bha) are not a derby game in the realms of distance otherwise you'd be within 10 miles. Stop this bullsh1t of trying to drag up something that died (much as when your team did) 20 years ago.
I don't also care how much your deluded owner is worth, nor what your team bring in every game. You are turning this into a 'my dad's bigger than you're dad scenario. What our owners did regarding creditors in our time of need is what had to be done. They saved us by being business astute and have a plan to get our club heading in a direction that none of the last three chairmen did or could.
As I said, we (a lot of my Palace mates) are surprised at how you are doing and I suspect the same is said of us, but stop getting ideas above your station when it comes to boasting, you have only just become a Championship club. In 5 or 6 games you come on here like a p o r n star with a foot long cock giving it large. Remember, Charlton did what you are trying and look where they are now, pubbing it.
Anyhow, how are Charlton these days seeing as though you've just had the last few years entertaining them?

I did not think I was being Ageism, just quoting most of your fans re the rivaly with us, sorry.....

People forget that you are our rivals pure and simple as you are our nearest club (no we dont count Crawley). I think you have a few 'rivals' as no one really likes you ?

I dont think you can compare us to Charlton really, but your opinion, and I dont argue with that, think you might be suprised how far we have come.

All i have said is I think we are in a better position that CP at the moment, with crowds, potential etc, now I think that is nearly a fact, but a definate opinion from most people outside Croydon. if you are listening to Talk Sport this afternoon, they are stating that we are bigger than West Ham as we got CMS and have you heard who we have just signed this afternoon, after interest from Blackburn, Everton and Newcastle - Vincente Rodriquez from Valencia. who was the subject of a 35 million euro bid by Real Madrid 4 years back, he is 30 and 32 caps for Spain and was voted the best winger in Spain 4 years ago. Not bad for a poxy little club, with no future.

and thank you for telling the world about the size of my C@@k, so proud.......I think someone is right, I spend too much time on here, so no more, but just remember, we are back and here for quite a while and at this moment in time overtaken you after years of being behind you and you dont like it one bit, like we did not. Just accept it...... see no abuse.......

I find all these insults over whose got the bigger crowd and Brighton's increases in attendance being down to having plastic fans in their new arena just a bit short-sighted.

Most clubs after building a new stadium see an increase in crowds, that has been the case for Brighton and good luck to them. If and when hopefully we build a new stadium would we be labelling new season ticket holders and others coming for the first time as plastic fans? The whole flipping reason for trying to build a new ground is to increase attendances and generate more revenue, which can be invested in the team and, with the right management, make us more successful on the pitch. Jeez...

So not Crawley rivals, Charlton now, just accept that actually no one likes you lot as you just keep going on about 'history' surely it is all about now, not what you did when you had Don Rogers and Ian Wright, we do keep going on about the past, we look to the future and ours is very bright, its only Palace fans for some strange reason, maybe we are your rivals ?, have an issue that we have more fans than you now, home and away, fact, a better ground than you, fact, more buying power, fact and all you can say is 'we been above you for 30 years' boring........so have lots of teams. If you want new rivals then we will implement our tender document to ask for new rivals as our existing ones are:

Mighty Jealous all the time
Small crowds home and away
Silly kits
A board that spends no money

I could go own, but I dont get into all the Pikey stuff etc, as I have good mates who are Palace fans and do you know what ?, they think we a good club that pulled back from the crooked board with have, without screwing fans, local people etc and can now compete with the likes Championship teams, that is all pure and simple.

I do not know where we will finish this year, mid table maybe, happy with that, but i know we are a club going in the right direction with increased crowds, budget, fantastic football, 'the best facilities i have ever seen at a football ground' (the words of a Sunderland fan this week)

Also worth mentioning that when we play you, we will treat your fans the same as the others, legends in the away end, local beer, and yes the bars will be open to you as we want to treat all fans, yes all fans as guests of our club and I think that should be applauded as I think this is a new way in football.There is no special plans for segregation before or after, which again I think is good, treat fans well and they behave, treat them like animals and they behave like them as well.

On a personal note I am meeting 3 Palace mates and 2 BHA friends for a beer before the game and If I can get them in our lounge, i will.
