There was a big rivalry late 70s /eary 80s kicked off by the Saints/Spurs game at The Dell last game 77/78 season. Brighton could have got promoted if we had beaten Spurs but allegedly it was an "agreed" result and it finished a tame 0-0 and we went up with Spurs. I can also remember quite a few tasty awaydays down there early eighties, I think we had them in the cup as well. Not to mention Dec 81 when we played Brighton at The Dell and if we had won we would have gone top of the league (above Man Utd !) and they beat us 2-0 (Foster).The game was a sell out and there were a couple of thousand fans locked out.Cue running battles outside the ground.
