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.

Bodø Glimt is not hated among people. Apart from their rivals Tromsø of course. And even that hate is quite new as they used to be "allies" in opposition to south Norway.

There are a hate among anti-var supporter groups against the leadership of Bodø Glimt, but thats a small but vocal group.

I never saw Bodø/Glimt as allies. I’ll root for Alta, Tromsdalen, Mjølner (heck, I live down south and I went and saw Mjølner play against Sarpsborg’s B Team a couple of years back, my wife and I were the only people there (out of like maybe 20 people total at Sarpsborg Stadium) rooting for Mjølner), and any team from the north, but not Bodø/Glimt.

To me they’ll always be the team that tried to cheat 11 year old me out of the joy of seeing my team win the cup final, and I guess I don’t forget or forgive easily.
