After the FA Cup game I made the post below in another thread, and it lead me to question it all. I feel lost. Rivalries are hate and banter, but they are also love because you need them, so this is like a partner leaving in a way.

Actually they all were, the true Brighton fans, all 12,000 of them. The rest, as we've said all along, 2 club supporting tourist customer dickheads. We're too good for them, we have been bigger and better for decades, the rivalry is a short one between 1976 and 1990 something, then we were just miles ahead for years. With their new casual support who aren't real fans it is hard to see how this will change. They said they were coming, we stood firm and poked them, they whimpered and said "nah". It's dead. Even if there are a few seasons in the top flight together I'm unconvinced that the derby will ignite with their 15,000 day trippers. It would take decades. With CPFC2010 I see us more likely to strengthen and the media will play on when we play Arsenal or Spurs, they will focus on the North London v South London derby, they can't get their heads around Palace v Brighton, they keep calling it "strange". But the media did have an open mind on that and sent the cameras in, they believed it thanks to the Palace fans being particularly boisterous in the league game, but how Brighton have let everyone down by failing to turn up. The media now question if it was ever real, and I'm starting to too. |
