This thread just verifies that Modern football is really s***. F.A. cup match against arguably our biggest rivals or at least most hated, and tickets are easy to come by? Oh well at least we got the champions league to aspire to. Years ago, and not that long a go. This game would have been the talk of the town. Being nostalgic of course but football has forgotten its roots I.e. the fans. Thursday night football is s***e!!

This goes to show moving it to Monday night, no trains and the fans getting treated like and accused of being criminals by the Sussex Police after the league game had taken its toll on the Palace faithful. With Arsenal away a couple of weeks later for only £5 more, that’s where my hard earned has gone. Decent pubs, great ground and no grief. Edited by kev64 (02 Jan 2018 3.16pm)

I do worry about the well being of today's footballers as they have to work so much harder than say the Liverpool 16 man 1980's squad with their 60 games a season, plenty on muddy pitches, and only two or three trophies a season and £500 a week to show for it. 1st team should be sent to a spa retreat with cotton wool beds for a long weekend and the reserves and youth team take their place. It's only the FA Cup which winning means only the Europa League which winning means only the Champions League. I hear what you're saying, but due to the physical specimens that today's game demands (a million miles away from those in the 80's when you could drink over Xmas and have a fag...even shag the odd Miss World at half time)..they're always on the cusp of injury etc. i dont like it any more than you do; but we have to be realistic with our comparisons. Also in those days it was pretty much a 2 x horse race with teams down the bottom getting hammered by your reserve side...not nowadays.

Years ago it would have been Millwall or Charlton, no-one gave a s*** about Brighton, this manufactured rivalry with them is a load of bollocks and we have far more important concerns at the moment.

If it wasn't, it would've died years ago.
We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |

Our U23 squad have been producing some great results. Let them take up the challenge. Not a great loss if they don't come up trumps .

I'm mainly taking issue with Park Road's "years ago" statement, which is untrue in my experience. The rivalry has mainly been fueled/manufactured by Brighton fans desperate to give their team a bit of depth and history, I mean they even changed their nickname to try and get us to notice them. Maybe it's just the period I grew up in but I'll always think of Millwall as our main rivals. Anyway happy new year Ray, always like your posts. Edited by boo909 (02 Jan 2018 4.48pm)

Disagree totally. I started supporting Palace in the early 80's and we hated Brighton then. We sang anti Brighton songs all the time. It kicked off when we played them etc etc. It's only when Millwall came up again mid-ish 80's that we reignited our 'local' rivalry! Charlton was always lively in the 80's too and fuelled further by the ground share but to dismiss BHA as rivals in the 80's is inaccurate to say the least!

I'm just saying in my experience (must have been mid-eighties as KAOS said) they weren't our main rivals Millwall were and that's always stuck with me, though admittedly I have drunk a lot of booze since those days so my memory could be faulty.
