Albion want to end long wait
10:00am Saturday 16th March 2013 in Sport By Brian Owen
Derby action from the Goldstone 35 years ago this week as Teddy Maybank is fouled by Paul Hinshelwood and Kenny Sansom. We printed this photo earlier this season and it is typical of the classic archive shots which can be found in The Argus every Saturday
Albion are out to end a long wait – by enjoying a home win over Crystal Palace.
The Eagles have not been defeated on the South Coast since Boxing Day 1988.
There have only been three derbies in Sussex since then, resulting in a 0-0 draw and 3-2 win for Palace at Withdean followed by their 3-1 success at The Amex last season.
Albion’s 3-1 victory in a second-tier game in 1988-89 was their seventh successive home win over Palace.
Kevin Bremner’s header and a Gary Chivers goal sent them into a 2-0 half-time lead before an above-average crowd of 13,515.
Ian Wright took five minutes to reply in the second period before Garry Nelson made sure of the points by beating keeper Brian Parkin in front of the North Stand.
Tomorrow’s match will see a new record attendance set at The Amex – which might worry superstitious Seagulls fans.
A new record was also set when Palace visited Withdean in 2005-06, thanks to the opening of the (far) West Stand for away fans.
Leon Knight twice put the Seagulls in front but Dougie Freedman replied both times and Jobi McAnuff drilled a low shot into the bottom corner in the fourth minute of added time to give Ian Dowie’s men a 3-2 win.

So we never come back when a goal down,it only happened against Doncaster.If Palace get an early goal its goodnight Vienna.What i want to see is a blood and thunder attitude,just look at Shittu s performance for Millwall against Leicester,what a player.If Brighton press the ball and dont let Palace breath we can win,if our players dont come off the pitch absolutely shattered they have not done enough.

I was in the squad and travelled to this game. Eric Steele had damaged his thumb in training,but was passed fit.
Joh Burridge did his walking on his hands thing around the penalty box and Terry Venables was manager.I think the result was 0-0 and the home game played earlier in the season ended 1-1.
I remember Mullers telling Sully to put
Vince Hillaire in row Z as he tore us to bits.
