Unofficial forum for supporters of Hampton & Richmond Borough FC

I know what you mean...I guess "The Bev" comes from "The Beveree Stadium" as it now seems to be referred to. It was always just "Beveree."TW2-Beaver wrote: Tue May 12, 2026 7:59 am Well done to Billericay Town for highlighting this, I know little about their club but it makes me think its well run.
"The Beveree" annoys me as well, as does the more informal "The Bev". One of the reasons I was keen to take on running the forum when the previous admin stood down was that I wanted to correct the name from "The Beveree" as it used to be called, to "Beveree Chat". Liverpool don't play at "The Anfield", Aberdeen don't play at "The Pittodrie" and Hampton don't play at "The Beveree".

However...the biggest gripe I still have is the club name, the "and Richmond Borough" suffix. I really wish there was more appetite to just be called Hampton FC again and if there were one thing I'd actively campaign to change it would probably be that.

it's "& Richmond Borough"
and it certainly isn't
"Hampton & Richmond" and parts of the club website etc still has this left over from the previous regime.

Ah, but is your pedantry correct Jamie? Its a ridiculous situation, but with Companies House we appear to be "and", while with the FA we appear to be "&"Jamie wrote: Tue May 12, 2026 2:17 pm another mistake it's not "and Richmond Borough"

To be honest I think most fans do prefer Hampton FC, it is particularly noteworthy that the large group of younger fans behind the goal all seem to be in favour of reverting to Hampton FC (they have designed several flags, the majority of which reference Hampton FC, and they join in with the various "anti-Richmond" songs that get trotted out). I say this is noteworthy because one might assume that more recent recruits would prefer the status quo to the past, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
