Palace and Brighton - the early days of the rivalry

mardi 2 février 2021

I am being asked about the early days of the rivalry with Brighton and would like to hear about the following games:-

11th August 1973 a pre-season friendly at Brighton that we lost 1-2. Pat Saward was Brighton manager, Brian Clough did not arrive until November 1973 so any talk of a Clough/Allison meeting is wide of the mark. Was there any inkling of rivalry then.

17th August 1974 Division Three at the Goldstone. Clough had already gone leaving Peter Taylor in charge for this opening game of the season. Despite playing Brighton off the park, lost 0-1. Brighton then still known as the Dolphins.
Was there any disturbance after the game.

18th March 1975 Return League game at Selhurst Park. Palace won 3-0.
Was there any 'Seagulls' noise from the Brighton fans.

I am well aware after Alan Mullery arrived at Brighton so please try and avoid this part of the rivalry.
