That is wrong about The Palace Pier; the owners changed the name to "Brighton Pier" after the West Pier burnt down and their has been a campaign for years to get the name changed back to the traditional name. I believe it has now changed back to Palace Pier. My memory of those 70s and 80s matches was of lots of low level scuffles and not the carnage and death that others report on here. No one died for God's sake!

beating them twice and they stay up - then do it again, and again, and again, until they DO fall through the trap door

good read. When Murray went down injured in the play-off first leg, a good number of Brighton fans were clapping him, in fact I didn't hear any 'judas' chanting, I thought they were pretty good about it in general. I do feel rather honoured to have been at those momentous games - the 5-1, the 3-1 at theirs which will 100% be the most hostile and exhilerating awayday experience I'll ever have.

Pretty sure they were chanting 'Where's your Murray gone?'
