Teams you really hate and like as a Reading fan

[peterroyal76]

As someone who came from a family of Wolves (+ 1 Villa) fans, it is actually embarrassing that the majority of Reading fans hate Wolves. They really don't give a **** about us, the hate is so one sided it is untrue.

When did you start supporting Reading? Genuine question.

[Faithful Son]

Also hate the self proclaimed "Best Supporters In The World" Liverpool.WORST supporters in the world imo. Spend every waking hour reminding the world of Hillsborough and how they will never forgive or forget but seem to have conventiently forgotten about Heysel (which was their fault). I was also gobsmacked last season when, a club involved in two of the worst Stadium disasters in history, let off flares and fireworks in the away end. Divvies the lot of them. Can we please, please, please stop having a minutes silence every time these imbeciles come to town. Yes Hillsborough was terrible event but it happened well over 20 years ago. In the words of Brian.. Move On.

My sympathies go out to you. Let's be fair it could be worse you could of been surrounded by Oxford fans

96-97 season. Lived in Newbury from 2 til 11 years old.

[BonBoh]

Hate: Bristol Rovers - just don't like them. Although haven't played them for years.

Excellent rationale...

[multisync1830]

Hate Brighton - prob because I am down here now and know a lot of fans. They all reckon they are the biggest club in the south with the biggest fan base yawn. they all need to check the history books I think we have played them more than any other club.

West Ham - reasons above

Chelsea - don't know why, a lot of people in Reading used to support them when we were lower league and they started this mad wages explosion and are all that is wrong in the game. Also john Terry....

Totally agreed on BHA and Chelsea, neutral on WHU. I'd add Arsenal. Awful club, run by Freemasons, always thrash us.

at the risk of derailing the thread what's that all about?

[Schards#2]

Don't think that any other team p*ss me off quite as much as Reading do, tbh.

What are your expectations?

Since the turn of the century, in all but one season, we have either been in the Premier League or challenging for promotion. I would imagine a significant majority of fans from other clubs would envy Reading supporters for what we've experienced in the past decade or so.

Brighton

[East Grinstead Royal]

DISLIKE:-
Portsmouth (events at Elm Park in late 70s; more recent cheating, spending money they didn't have and ripping off local businesses)
Bristol City (events at Elm Park in 80s; plus I like Rovers)
Chelsea
West ham
Crystal Palace

LIKE:-
Bristol Rovers
Yeovil
Crawley
- going to their grounds reminds me of Elm Park (been to BR and YT many times)

CAN'T DECIDE:-
Brighton - I know a lot of STHs at BHA so am always pleased when they lose, but they have a terrific stadium and whether we like it or not, they have a bigger fan base than we do. B*st*rds.

[Jackson Corner]

Dislike
Pompey for blatent cheating over spending. Pikey fans.
Palace 3 times in administration and now in the prem spending millions on players.
QPR There desperation to get in the prem is pathetic. Shit ground and a twat chairman.
Wolves and West Ham dilusioned fans still living in the past.
Like
Everton and Newcastle top fans very fair and welcoming on my trips up there.
Orient great fans again just a nice friendly club.
Sheff Utd apart from Warnock. I do feel sorry for them. The Tevez thing was a disgrace they were shit on big time. I miss our friendly rivalry and trips to Bramel lane.

[Green]

Quite like AFC Wimbledon, Stalybridge Celtic, Dagenham and Redbridge and Dulwich Hamlet.

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Hate:

Bolton - The hate started before 95. Don't think any club has had as many cheats over the years as them.
West Ham - Tevez Gate andd getting a stadium on the taxpayer.
Liverpool - Started after Hiesel. Don't think ive ever forgiven the club. Horrible Support and the media trying to portray the opposite.
Leeds - Just utter filth.

Likes:

Everton - Home grown players, home grown support.
Brentford - Family connections and the best ground in the league. 1st game I saw was there.
Man Utd - Must be on my own here. My 2nd team as a kid and its just stuck. So many great games involving them over the years.

[super darren caskey]

I only dislike Doncaster Rovers and that's only personal reasons

I like most clubs and especially if they are underdogs in matches(like cups etc)

[P!ssed Off]

Dislike:
Walsall, as they won in my first Final as a Reading fan.
West Ham, for nicking Pards, sockgate and for being general oxf*rd.
Portsmouth - poor scum.
Sheffield United - our dirty rivals for a few years, led by that oxf*rd Warnock.
Wolves, similar reasons as Sheffield Utd, but without Warnock.
QPR, have played a hand in making the current Championship so poor in quality by hoarding so many strikers in recent years.
Burnley, worst fans I've encountered in recent years.

Like:
Crewe, always creating top talent.
Colchester United. My 2nd team, I've even got a scarf.
Bradford City, Parky's team.

[NewCorkSeth]

Dislike - Tottenham, Aston Villa, West Ham, Man Utd, Crystal Palace, Cardiff, Wigan, Blackburn, Bolton. All irrational hatred. Except for Aston Villa, I know why I hate them.

Like - West Brom, Huddersfield, Arsenal
