I don't know but Ive know a Brighton fan for 15 years and it's always been big thing for him

In what world is Palace and Brighton a ****ing derby? One is in east Sussex and the other is London ffs.

Unbelievably it's because of the M23 motorway!

That does actually make some sense. Sort of.

What a load of bollocks. A derby is two local teams and not two ****e teams at the end of a motorway in different counties. I spent 6 years living just outside Brighton and I can honestly say I've never heard of this so called derby.

Now that I've heard of this I want them both to get relegated.

I agree fully with your first paragraph and 66% with your second. Although Portsmouth/Southampton/Plymouth matches were always described the same way, along with Plymouth/Exeter. I suppose it's not always about proximity. They have obvious connections though, not sure about Palace and Brighton apart from being on the same train line.

Pity they came back as it might give them some team spirit to try the next few games as if they had dropped points today I’d say they’d have faded for the rest of the season.

Burnley key away next which will be very tough if they aren’t up for the fight.

We beat any two of West Brom, Stoke and Brighton and it's over anyway.

[Fosterbloke]

Plus we only need a draw with Chelsea to take away an extra game from them.

Yep but it would be nice if Chelsea kept dropping points

I definitely wouldn’t complain. Think they might drop points at Burnley and we’ll beat West Brom, which effectively puts it to bed.

Bristol teams / Swindon are often described as the M4 derby.

Just had the misfortune to be sat next to 3 of this lot.

Managed to tick every negative box. Racism, sexism, violence and of course Hillsborough.

I don’t usually generally but this lot are scum

Of all the matches I've been to, definitely found the Chelsea supporters the worst.

There was one hateful c*nt in particular, must have been in his 50's, there with his kid. He'd no interest in the match, just spent who match shouting abuse at home supporters. Made me miss most of the match too as I was watching, hoping somehow someone could get over and give him a kicking.

Two of these were in their 60s, only into their second can of Carling. Totally 1970s 1980s stereotypes. It was the worst kind of throwback.

Oxford/Swindon is the derby there. They hate each other.

Yeah, there's loads of derbies. Obviously the Rovers / City one is the main one in Bristol, but Swindon is also a derby.

And yep, everyone hates everyone.
