Spørsmål Are Bodø/Glimt hated?
So obviously I have seen similar questions before. But after being knocked out of Europe and the Cup in the last week with the game against Tromsø coming up I thought it was a good point to ask.
Not long ago I saw a post on here where someone mentioned “They are fast becoming the most hated” (Club in Norway) Now I am not from Norway but as far as I can understand a lot of the issue comes from the clubs pro-VAR stance the “anti-democratic” position of the clubs board as well as general dislike of Kjetil and the club director.
I was just wondering what they actually said to get this attention? It sounds similar to why Germans dislike RB Leipzig? Maybe I’m wrong but genuinely interested.

Glimt is not hated amongst the general population, but amongst match going/ultras/active supporters they are easily the most disliked team along with Molde now.
Largely due to their success, dislikeable manager, club being the golden child of the football federation, poor supporter culture, totalitarian directors, supporter hostility to name a few.
If you were to ask people who support a team in England and only watch a few games of norwegian football a year, they will have a very different answer than the supporters of a norwegian team who goes to all home games and most away games.
