Everything Screamed Of Football Family


Birmingham based student Hayden Atkins is completing a dissertation and documentary on Hereford FC, and travelled with Hereford Awaydays on their coach to Bardon Hill yesterday.

The full report is on Hayden's site - http://scribblerblog.com/2015/11/14/hereford-fc-have-reminded-me-why-they-call-it-the-beautiful-game/ - but one part deserves to be repeated:

'Everything screamed of football family. I’ve grown increasingly frustrated with football snobbery, even at the level Birmingham City play at. With Hereford? Absolutely non of that- just people there to cheer on a team that they want to see do well. And it bloody works. All 11 players play with a smile on their faces because the fans back them so unbelievably well.'
