1:44 Only a Crystal Palace fan would be interviewed about Palace, and wear a Fiorentina Shirt.

As an Australian, this rivalry makes a lot more sense. Here in the AFL your rival teams can be close to you (Adelaide v Port, West Coast v Fremantle, Carlton v Collingwood) but sometimes they're teams where you've just had really explosive games or some dramatic transfer saga (Hawthorn v Essendon, Hawthorn v Geelong, Hawthorn v Sydney), so it's not always dictated by proximity.

‘They’re not a proper club’. Why on earth not? They’re 4 years older than Palace!

"Between Eagles and Seagulls, there's only one winner" - Yeah, Seagulls hands down. The ones in Brighton are fucking hench because all the Vegans throw away the protein and the Seagulls feed.

This is so shit it's brilliant

Do Portsmouth Southampton rivalry - proper old school tale of two cities

There is also a lot of tradition of Croydonians coming to Brighton as it is the closest coast, and Brightonians used to go the other way for shopping days. Due to the A/M23 and the very old Brighton Main Line railway, it's a very common trip. Would have been good to mention as this adds a lot to the rivalry.

Everyone is giving this rivalry so much hate like why? This rivalry is actually pretty interesting and entertaining. Stop hating and just respect it, rivalry matches are the best games of the year

As a Brighton fan, I have a weird mix of hate and love for Palace. I agree it's a weird rivalry but that's my favourite thing about it, it's one of a kind

0:16 "They are not a proper football club" I am not a fan of either club, but I now hate you.

I love these Rivalry Videos! I don't think enough people see and hear about rivalries outside of the Manchester Darby or El Clásico.

I live in Brighton and there are so many Liverpool fans who live here. The King and Queens pub was called the Brighton Kop.

1:44 palace fan... wears a florentina shirt

this video was very well done. greatly enjoyed it!

If you want a strange derby how about the "Distance Derby" between Wellington and Perth, 5,255 km apart. Or the Melbourne Derby between Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City who started off as Melbourne Heart, who were literally created for no other reason but simply to give Victory a rival.

This is a good video. You should do QPR and Brentford one day.

He says when we get together its fruity isnt he whole town fruity

Great to see Jim on this channel

Imagine being Leicester. Literally have no main rivalry.

Palace Brighton is to me the most wholesome rivalry. It's all about the football, the rivalries origins, is in the football. I get why a lot of rivalries have to do with geography, but the best rivalries are all about the matches and a lot of these types of rivalries create those types of matches but they aren't born from it.

So when a team calls themselves The Eagles, you choose a seagul to try and match them? A seagul... Wtf.

Should do a video on Coventry vs Sunderland. Really interesting history behind the rivalry

Great stuff. Didn't know it was a rivalry at all

The bentest Derby I’ve ever heard of. Basically it’s the ‘we haven’t got a proper rival so we’ll just pick you’ Derby.

Back in the day the fans used to meet up at a train station called Redhill (half way point between palace/Brighton) and they’d have a big punch up

From a burnley fa who has lived in Brighton 20 years and Croydon 6 years. Love the banter xx

Didn't know they were rivals

YAY JIM DALY IS HERE!!!

Such a good rivalry even though I fucking hate palace I just can't wait for us to play them

Or if you're Joe Weller you support Chelsea

CANT WAIT TO SEE THIS GAME LIVE

They call us not a proper football club but they literally train at on old cricket ground

WE DID THE DOUBLE BOISSS

It's Jim Daly. Brilliant youtuber.

I remember 20 years ago Palace fans (25) coming to Field Mill , because there game away to Sheffield Utd was postponed . They sang through the whole game , think Stags were at home to Rochdale or Bury. We had a right good laugh with them .

"The Middle Class derby"

I’m a Newcastle fan and as most football fans know we have a deep deep rooted rivalry with Sunderland, I loved this story I never knew this game was on this level gonna pay extra attention to this game in the future.

Yes Copa90 actually made a video on this rivalry

Waiting for the video from Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense

Always wondered this haha

What derby is next on this channel guys. Would love to see Darlington vs Yeovil

Can you guys do a Derby Days for this matchup at some point this upcoming season? It would be fun

Nice rivalry lol. I like the eagles vs. seagulls thing!!

we are brighton, super brighton, we are brighton, from the south

I saw saw Brighton Palace last season as an Albion fan, its one of few fixtures we play where the Amex properly comes alive! If the fans were even half as energetic for other games as we are for Palace the Amex would be such an exiting place!

0:03 it’s the legend himself Jim Daly

After last season i have gained so much respect for Brighton! They deserved the title last season! - Newcastle fan

As a Brighton fan, I'm almost contractually obliged to hate Palace, but I also have a lot of respect for them, and I can't hate them as much as I'm supposed to. For one, I've always been impressed with the sheer noise that Palace fans make at games. They are some of the loudest fans I've ever heard at the Amex and they often drown us out at home games, despite having significantly fewer fans in the stadium than us, so big respect to them for that. But mostly, I respect them because of what their fans did for us during the 97/98 season. Brighton were facing financial ruin, the board had recently sold off our ground (The Goldstone) and had no plans for where we were going to play the following season, and it was looking very likely that Brighton would cease to exist as a football club at the end of that season. So a now-legendary group of Brighton fans organized a 'Fans United' day during an otherwise unremarkable league match against Doncaster, firstly to help raise funds to keep the club afloat, but also to highlight our plight to the world. Using this new thing called "The Internet", Brighton fans issued an open invitation to fans of every club all around the world to come and support Brighton for a day, while wearing their own club colours. We literally filled the stadium for the first time in my lifetime that day. We didn't just have fans from clubs all across England turn up, we also had fans turn up from all over the world like Germany, France, Spain, Argentina....for a fairly meaningless League 2 (Division 3 as it was then..) game. It was an amazing turnout and an amazing atmosphere. What surprised me more though, was the sheer number of red and blue Palace shirts in attendance that day. There were THOUSANDS of them! I got chatting to a group of them during the game and asked them - "Why did you turn up to help us? We're rivals!", and they responded with "We *like* hating Brighton. If we didn't have you to hate, who else are we gonna hate?". I'll never forget that. I'll also never forget what the Palace fans did for us that day. They turned out in force and really got behind our team, (but just for that one game of course!) A lot of other Brighton fans didn't forget it either. Years later when Palace were facing similar problems of their own, us Brighton fans returned the favour and turned up in force when Palace held their own Fans United day. We hate each other, but there is also a lot of respect between us too. It's a unique rivalry to say the least lol

This video doesn’t do the rivalry justice whatsoever, it’s way more than just choosing a team to hate. The passion going into each match from both sets of fans is unreal

You guys really need to do a documentary for blues vs villa

A Palace fan wearing a Florentina shirt 🤣

Respect to both clubs from a Newcastle United fan.

I love that C.P. Supporter who is wearing the jersey of a totally different team.

Jim Daly he makes so good videos

Do the dockyard derby (Portsmouth vs Plymouth Argyle)

The most intense rivalry: Blackburn Burnley.

Have to do the Tyne-Wear derby next

Do a video on Tuesday so people can see what the derby is actually like so they really understand.

About the same distance, as Liverpool v Man Utd, which i class, as the glory hunter derby, nothing plastic about Albion v Palace.

Luton/Watford Rivalry?

I now finally know why these two don't get on after years of wondering

Really interesting rivalry..

“They’re not a proper football club” Well, I wouldn't call a yo-yo club like Palace a proper team anyway.

Aka the m25 derby

I've been waiting on this video forever😂

And now the derby is in the top flight. Wow!!!

It is a strange derby this one, considering both teams are nearly 50 miles away from each other??

People may think it's a shit derby because it makes no sense as both clubs are nowhere near each other, but for both sets of fans it's the biggest game of their season. Palace need the points to get them off the bottom of the table and Brighton need the points to keep up their good start to the season. Either way the fans will get behind their teams and players who have played in this fixture like Zaha for Palace and Dunk for Brighton will inform new players about how much it means to the fans. It's a must win game for both sides.

I would like to see some episodes about rivalry like Portugues Classico

What is the music called played from the start to 0:30

“They’re not a proper football club” Well we’re not stuck rock bottom with a stadium worse than my garden shed so you can shut up.

when are south american rivalries going to get videos like these?

This must be the biggest rivalry no football fan outside of these teams care about...

Cheers for saving our asses last season👍🏻🔵⚪️🔵⚪️

Talking about your team in a Fiorentina shirt hahahaha

Do Colchester and Wycombe, Rivals but we are like 2 and a half hours away and we (Col U) always take alot away to them

Never want Brighton to be relegated. Live for the games.

To all the people in the comments saying 'this is a shit rivalry', 'plastic derby, means nothing' you clearly aren't a true fan of any team or been to a Brighton vs Palace game. You don't choose who you hate in football, it's a natural instinct. As a Brighton fan who's watched my team win and lose to Palace, felt the elation & despair, would give anything to beat them today I can tell you this rivalry is real, it is bitter with true raw emotion at every game. It isn't a 'bizarre derby' at all. The fact we aren't near each other if anything invigorates the distaste for each other even more than just location. Watch the game, see what it means to the fans before throwing away a big part of lower league football history so quickly.

Leverkusen&Brighton ✊

The Palace & Brighton rivalry started in the mid 70s when both clubs were both in the old 3rd division a lot of people won’t know this but back then in the same old 3rd division Mansfield Town and Palace also had a fierce rivalry but over the past 40 years or so Mansfield and palace have gone in different directions palace on the up and Mansfield went downwards but now Mansfield are on the rise again and hopefully one day soon Mansfield will play Palace again competitively also back in the day Mansfield also had a rivalry against Brighton and Wrexham

Its down the train track! What a great story...the power of football fans.

Disappointed in this documentary tbh doesn't do the rivalry justice, it's one of the fiercest in England, it's not hyped up by the media but it doesn't need to be you've got the fans giving it their all for the entire day. Also what's so beautiful is how it's an organic rivalry it just sort of happened over time due to having two clubs of a similar level and standing it's not this oh I hate you just cause you're closest (like that makes sense) and it means our fans aren't all friends like at Merseyside there's real passion involved

Eagles.... majestic bird of prey..much adored throughout the world. Seagulls... flying rats that steal food and shit everywhere... hated worldwide. EAGLES FOR EVER

If a derby can be described as "fruity" it's not a real derby

Did anyone else have no idea these two teams were rivals

SEAGULLSSSS

3-2

PLEASE!! Do the EDINBURGH DERBY. Next game is 27th December.

hey, can you guys do Brentford vs QPR, that is the best west London derby

As it's looking more and more likely that leeds will be promoted. Do a video on Leeds Vs Man u.

I respect B & H..... Big love from Man Utd

My boy Jim Daly

when will the derby days s2 come?

Played in the cup a couple of days ago. Ten thousand empty seats. Huge rivalry my arse.

When a palace fan says Brighton isn't a proper football club 😂😂 okay mate look at yourself first. How about create a atmosphere with chanting your club rather than bang a drum and try and make it look like you have fans who give a shit

Love the rivalry ! It’s great the palace fans or Brighton fans don’t care what others think about it ! They just want to beat each other it’s brilliant rivalry, people used to say south coast derby with Portsmouth or Southampton FORGET it ! It will always be Crystal Palace no question for all Brighton Fans!

Strange Derby 40 miles apart. Having said that I doubt it lightens it for both sets of fans passion wise being the 1st fixture er they look for each season. UTV

Up The Albion💙

This can't be a shit rivalry. There's no such thing. This game means so much to both sets of fans and no people who support the plastic teams will have no idea what this means.
