Exactly- it's a little sad to have a hatred for a team because of 17 years ago!
Friday March 23rd 2001 I rang brighton to enquire about the state of the pitch (the weather had been crap)for the following day and was told that there was no problem. We duly made our way, we had a weekend planned on arrival at our hotel I rang some London Spireites, I had their tickets to be told the game had been postponed that afternoon.
After a day on the pop on Saturday night I entered a boozer, my sensible other half paid a call I went to the bar, 3 youths with brighton tops emblazoned with "ground staff" on them were bragging how they had done the "northern bast...." by hosing the pitch for 2hours (apparently Adams had a touchline ban and Zamora was out)and getting the game off. At this point I spun the gobby one round by the shoulder and announced "unlucky, northern bast... here" and then warmly shook by the throat. Fortunately my sensible half returned I put him down the 3 didn't say a word and left. The landlord/barman didn't say owt I ordered a pint of Pride (london) and half a lager he gave me the drinks and said "on me I hate them cocky little bast....s I'm a Palace fan.
I also hate brighton 17 years on
