Palace vs weeds
Now we’re in the build up to this game I’ve started reminiscing about past encounters . I’ve got loads of memories ,good and bad , but on the whole we’ve had the upper hand .
The 5-0 one was a classic , “ 5 nill and you can’t **** off “ plus the last minute winner at the running track was pretty enjoyable. But what are your memories of games in the past ?

The 5-0 was my first of the games and from then I've always seen it as one way traffic. Even when they were boasting about the tides turning when they got the Amex we were the first side to beat them at there new ground in a competitive game.
The play off game however will never, ever be topped. You couldn't have wrote that any better with the local lad who was a shit Bas Savage according the ever knowledgeable lot nearly ripping the Brighton net open. We haven't humiliated them just once we've done it a few times. Hopefully the trend will continue this Saturday. It's a massive game for both sides.

There's quite a few 'high's to choose from, the Play Off Semi obviously is the icing on the cake, but being the first team to beat them in the league at their new wonky stadium runs it close

Withdean 0-0, we were all applauding Sir Steve but for a brief moment Trevor Francis thought we were applauding him, then the hail of coins whilst waiting to be let out, followed by bricks at Preston Park station
The game with the 5 pens and Ian Wrights wonder goal from the touchline live long in the memory... aside from the obvious ones (AJ hat-trick 5-0, Jobi in the last minute and the greatest ever; the Wilf Zaha play off semi second leg, limbs everywhere!) |

Years ago we had them at home and we were in the sailor early doors . Someone run in and said " there's a load of weeds by the clock tower " so a few of us run out and they clocked us . It became very clear we were heavily outnumbered and the weeds fancied it ( numbers game ) and they bounded down . After a bit of windmilling we retreated to the sanctuary of the sailor where a standoff ensued. They eventually left and a few minutes later a palace lad sheepishly came in , he explained " l sort of hid " much to everyone's amusement.

The five pen match was fun and meeting a palace mate of mine in the home end was quite funny

Boxing Day 1979 at the goldstone
Lost 3-0 awful day The August 1974 game we lost 1-0 but it was the first time we'd played them for years and we had a great time in Brighton Palace fans were in the north stand with Brighton fans segregated by a small police cordon I think Wouldn't happen today |

My favourite was this season. Down the seafront early doors admiring the wonderful views of the beach. Then leaving to get to the ground nice and early, only to be caught by Old Bill, marched around the whole of Brighton, getting to the stadium and the stewards bottle it and lock us out. Still in a kettle, marched back to the station just after half time and getting on a train from Falmer to Brighton about the 88th minute having never got a glimpse of the pitch.
Blinding. |

The cheeky Slags even wanted me to get the train to Brighton and change when I only had to go the other way about 5 minutes.

Being a steward in the away end for the AJ 5-0 and not being able to celebrate whilst getting things raining down from us from both sides.
Being at the 1-2 at the Amex and some plummy weed jumping the hoarding, running across and trying to land a punch which missed and my reply was also feeble but by then the stewards had grabbed him. Then on the way out hearing some slaggy weed steward tell her mates she was coming to Selhurst to cause the same kind of damage we had And the 1-0 at Selhurst where Bolasie made Bruno fall on his arris makes me chuckle, but that effing wall

First game away, In 74 when we went down to the old third division, took over the whole ground, was fifteen at the time, hated them ever since. Funny thing obviously then not such a big rival as on 18,799 at Selhurst in the return, more against Southend 26,odd.
Do remember when they brought a tidy firm in the 70s I think,kicked all over east Croydon, remember being in the pub opposite the station when loads came out and straight over to the pub. More than we expected. Today just a load of deluded cxnts. Can't wait until Saturday.

One of the craziest games I have ever been to, was the 2-1 at SP in 1989.
Obviously the 5 penalties, but my real memory was afterwards, when I was pretty annoyed that we hadn't stuffed the Weeds out of sight, because for the first half hour, we played as well as we could have, they were already down to 10 men and we were taking them to the total cleaners. But then we started missing penalties ! I remember when Kelvin Morton gave the 3rd pen, straight we missed the 2nd one, he was chased after by half of the Weed players, but he still kept pointing to the spot ! Our last penalty by John Pemberton was truly terrible but almost funny, as his kick soared into the Holmesdale crowd. And they nearly snatched a very unlikely point, with Perry Suckling making a brilliant save, when they looked certain to score. I recall Steve Coppell being pretty angry after the game, saying that the players were celebrating the penalties before we had scored them. A remarkable Easter Monday afternoon !
