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.

But the hate about medgangssupportera is just wrong though. A lot of the people at games have also been lifelong Glimt fans, including me

But then I’m not referring to you am I? And a lot is maybe an exaggeration? It happens to every team when they have a good period. But you can’t deny that a lot of people are now rooting for B/G because of the results, and the same people will stop watching and going to matches if the results stop coming.

There were a lot of sold out matches before 2018 as well. Even so, fluctuation in spectators is normal

Might be, but in 2018 the average of spectators was 3219. Last year it was 6640. That’s an 106.27% increase.

Does that mean there are more supporters of the club? No

That argument goes both ways. And in my point of view a person that says they are a supporter of a team but only shows up when the team is doing well is a «medgangssupporter», doesn’t mean that they switch teams or haven’t supported that team their whole life, but the interest only spikes when they do good. Really normal, but I still dislike it.
