    That's the political rivalry of the places that causes that though.

    Why do clubs have to be very close to each other to have a big rivalry ? Brighton is considered pretty close to South London anyway

    They don't, it can come through regularly being in competition with each other as well, like Arsenal and Man U 10-15 years ago, or Leeds/Cardiff/Millwall for obvious reasons. It's just that Palace and Brighton don't seem to have any factor that promoted an intense rivalry.

    According to the internet, Brighton is only 36 miles from Croydon.

    So it's not that far-fetched, a lot of clubs have rivals at a similar distance.

    They despise each other.

    Which is only natural. They're both despicable.

    I'm very disappointed by this thread. Doesn't anyone know anything about football any more?
