Hereford: Still bitter after all these years.

[pasty]

As I think some of you know I have a video posted on YouTube of the Hereford vs Albion match. I've just had the latest comments emailed to me; they're still bitter about it I think.....

From HerefordDave: a travisty. we've got a cathederal and a proper stadium. do the seagulls still play in a leisure centre?

A cathedral? WTF?

Seems quite peculiar really, you would have thought dumping us out of the cup the next season was ample revenge...

Would that be a WELSH catherdral?

I don't like them much either and look forward to kicking their arses again if they can haul themselves out of League 2

 

[Silent Bob]

I've never really understood the whole "hating someone just because they beat you" thing. It's the same with Bristol City from the playoff final, and Swindon too. Should we have surrendered so as not to have made their fans sad?

Also, last time I checked, Hereford played at Edgar Street, not the Bernabeu.

...or we go down next season. Nightmare if they leapfrog us!

I agree. I've never really understood why Hereford hate us so much either. It's not as though we singlehandedly got them relegated out of the football league. Their appalling run of form towards the end of that season may possibly have had something to do with that. If, God forbid, the boot was on the other foot and we'd lost that game, I really don't think I would have the "hatred" of them that they appear to have of us.

I remember Hereford fans on Soccer AM booing when we were pulled out of the hat during the Johnstones Paint Pot Draw

I think our reaction of bemused indifference is the worst (best?) possible insult.

Unrequited hate is a tough thing to accept!

 

[Napper]

can understand it. I dislike Notts County for 91. Its what football fans do, especially as that Hereford game had bigger implications

I have heard it said that one of the main reasons Scottish footy fans hate England so much is because English fans generally don't give a shit about Scotland.

When you consider that Brighton fans who have only seen 4 games against Crystal Palace name them as the club they hate the most, Hereford hating us doesn't seem so unreasonable??

I would go along with that, Myself, I hate Orient more they I do Palace just because they are the team that when I first started following Brighton seemed to be the Rivals.
I should imagine Herefords anger is even more if you consider they changed the rules the next year!

Hereford only had themselves to blame. they were in mid table safety when we were still hopelessly adrift at the bottom.

They probably hate us because we stayed up on goals scored, whereas had it been goal difference (as it is now), we wouldve been relegated.

I was chatting to someone just last week about one of my favourite memories from Cardiff was the twat from Bristol City with the "Better luck next year Brighton" sign. At the final whistle we all turned round to look for him.

I live near Hereford and quite often wear a Brighton shirt through town, I've never had a single comment or problem about it.

 

[unnameable]

I was at the Oxford-Orient game that saw the Os promoted and the Us relegated to the Conference. Oxford fans feel betrayed by their own club for giving Orient the whole of the North Stand and turning the game into a virtual home match for the visitors. Oxford fans can't wait for their club's next game with Orient. They hate Orient as much as Hereford hate us. They probably hate Orient more than we do.

 

[Easy 10]

They probably hate us because we stayed up on goals scored, whereas had it been goal difference (as it is now), we wouldve been relegated.

Which is, of course, completely our fault.
How utterly inconsiderate of us to engineer that 5-0 against Hartlepool, or the 4-4 against Orient.

 

[Goodfella]

If we went out of the league because of a wrong result on the last day of the season, then you too would hate that team for a long time.

FACT.

Like NS Nutter I don't live that far from Hereford and do bump into their supporters from time to time, fair to say that they haven't forgotten and still don't particularly like us...that said, neither do Swindon or Bristol City but if you are lucky enough to meet a Bristol Rovers fan...they luvs us.
