I think they do that at many of the play off games nowadays Rob - either fireworks or tickertape - so this is not unusual, although perhaps a trifle over the top.
I did have to remind a Halifax fan (over on the Hereford website) who had suggested that they and Hereford were the best two teams in the Conference last season (and had said "Forget Accrington "), of a few salient facts concerning Stanley last season, in relation to both Halifax and Hereford - and to point out that Stanley were worthy champions and had not always received the credit they deserved.
Personally, I feel that Hereford deserved their moment of glory after their disappointments over the previous two seasons, and I for one cannot understand some of the vitriol which I have heard against them from various places (including sadly on here). In fact, one nameless individual told me that I was a "freak" for having been pleased at Hereford's success !!! lol Fortunately, I am old enough not to let comments like that bother me - and if people cannot accept a view which differs from their own, it is their problem and not mine.
I agree about the "champions " bit - that is a bit over the top - but in their fans eyes, they are champions (not THE CHAMPIONS - that is Stanley
), but we all know who won the Conference and should not let that fact detract from the Hereford supporters obvious joy on the day.
