I'd be quite up for that. Brighton does have some Palace, but we're low lying.
(Do you blame us ??)

I'm in Uckfield, and would be for getting a coach up, but I suspect if it starts in Brighton, you'll go up the A23.

If there are any more of us in east East Sussex, maybe we can do something.

Whilst I'm here the only down point with a coach going from Brighton is that I'm sure it wouldn't take long for all the Hillbillies from Whitehawk to find out that there would be groups of Palace arriving or leaving on days when we're playing.

Well, I normally drive up with three other people, but if a regular coach was arranged and was a reasonable price I would be interested. Can't speak for the others.

Maybe a meet up would be a good plan?

Easy enough for me to get the train from Haywards Heath (seem to be quite a few of us here)

Baloo, I can always offer a lift from Uckfield for weekend games if you're interested? (Two spare seats if anyone else is interested)

Are we?? Last saturday myself and Dillinger celebrated our victory in town and ended up strolling through the Lanes singing One Man went to war with Brighton, the famous Alan Mullery and other palace greats. Its becoming a worryingly regular thing now which we really should stop cos one day it could well end up in tears. But then try telling yourself that after 12 pints and a visit to the chemist. http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/mad.gif

There was also a meeting with other Brigthon Palace a while ago at the Prince Albert but I was away at that time. We shuold all try and meet up and discuss a coach etc further. The meeting place will have to be one of the pubs on the PALACE pier.

I live in Hastings and would be interested if there was a bus going to the matches. I do not get to many at the moment. Keep me informed about it, what would the price be.

Up the PALACE

Chris, I remember 3 years back getting on the Event bus (yeah, alright take the p@ss!!)
back to Halls of Residence in Coldean. I got on with one of my mates, and encountered these little sh@tes who somehow got on....anyway, I started off 'Glad All Over' to shout's of 'Palace Scum', 'F@ck off back to South London' etc. So, obviously....I had to keep on singing and my Oxford Utd supporting mate - who, btw has been to Palace twice (4-0 against Pompey last season, and the Sheff Wed. 4-1 a couple of weeks back) started as well. The little runts (Shadwell Army!!!!) started back at us but we drowned them out....happy days !!! But as for the town centre.....

I forgot to say, one of the barmen from the Prince Albert was in my local in Seven Dials for the start of the West Brom vs. Palace game on Sky. Alan Smith came on the big screen (!!!) and the tw@t started spitting and the screen and shouting ' How much he hated Palace'.

I didn't say that I was Palace, my girlfriend was with me and the sight of me and his mates fighting Bruce Lee style wouldn't have been clever.

I'm up for any 'Brighton' Palace meeting up for beers or travel, sod the Whitehawk scum.

I never thought of that. Now you come to mention it, I expect that's why they've imaginatively named it 'Brighton Pier'.

I live within walking distance of Withdean, so I tend not to make myself known...in case the house / car gets trashed. What is it with these dumb-asses?

I've left my Palace hanging shirt on at night a couple of times (usually I take it down) and nothing's happened to my car. Though, I wouldn't want to make a habit of it. I live fairly near Withdean as well, and try not to drive too near on matchday's !!
