Title: Everybody hates us....
Post by: Peter Venkman on Friday, August 9, 2013, 12:10:06
Ok not everybody but we are equal 13th place the same as Cardiff City in the hate chart based upon footbal rivalries.

Quite interesting, no idea where they got the figures from etc but this was posted on the West Ham Twitter account.

Only the slave traders above us from teams I would call a rival of ours, and we are above above Liverpool, Spurs, West Ham, Newcastle and many other disliked clubs.

Blackburn, Bolton, Wigan, Preston, Blackpool, Accrington... plenty of clubs who have a dislike for them

Blackpool - don't think they have the energy to hate into East lancashire, its all saved for Preston!

Wigan don't seem to displike anyone they are just happy to be involved!

Or perhaps at the grand opening of the Inbetweeners film?

But not Burnley, Burnley can fuck off

Funniest thing about that survey is no one in the football league gives a flying fuck about gillingham, they've been scrabbling around for a rival for years hence they have to come 130 odd miles away to find someone to shout at who will shout back. Complete non entity of a club.  :D

Once our middle aged hoolie fucktards die out, the gills simply won't feature on anyones radar anywhere. Last I heard they were trying to stoke up a bit of a rivalry with southend  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Hmm, I could understand some extra hatred in the last couple of years due to winning games, signing players and Paolo Di Canio....

...but why the hatred in 2003 we were a skint nothing team back then, ticket prices maybe?

I kind of sympathise with Shrewsbury, little club who are playing within their means whilst Brentford with the aid of a wealthy owner chuck in cash chasing the dream.

All a bit petty really though isn' it.

Entering administration twice in 2 years probably didn't help.

Because the survey works on how many team's fans name you in their top three most disliked, and we'd appear in quite a few.  Ones we hate like the Slave Traders, the Bananaboys, and the Shirt-bashers(possibly), and then ones we don't really care about like Reading, Gillingham, Cheltenham(?) etc.

That said, I seem to remember we had Reading as no.3 and I don't think Rovers listed us, so swap those two and you're golden.
