The WAB Friday Quiz #180

What have you got planned for Saturday then? For Brighton fans, it is the small matter of the Albion travelling to Selhurst Park to take on rivals Crystal Palace.

The fierce hatred which has developed between these clubs has nothing to do with geography or local bragging rights, as most rivalries in England do.

Instead, it is built upon a series of events starting in the 1970s. Each Palace v Brighton game seems to add another ingredient and lo and behold, you end up with two sets of supporters who despise each other.

This week’s WAB Friday Quiz will find out how much you know about the Eagles v Seagulls rivalry, from classic victories over the old enemy to experiences you might rather forget.

Sorry to bring those up again, but to appreciate the good times you have to remember the bad. And hopefully, more good lies in store in Croydon this weekend.
