winding up order for the Bulls

[Bilko]

Seems very grim for Hereford United,due in court where some judges will decided whether a community has a football club or not.how is this right ?,why isn't the FA protecting it's clubs ?.Why does this barely make the news ?.

I don't know what is owed by the club,but I'd be reasonably confident it isn't a Adam Lallana size transfer fee involved.what would be so wrong if say 5% of all transfer fees were kept in a fund to support all our clubs in time of need ?,so in this case 1.25 million is set aside . Millions and millions of pounds is exchanged between clubs,more than enough to go around all the clubs.
Man City are being fined how much for overspending ?.Where will that money go ?,again,why can't it be used to support our national game.

I'm no great intelligent Business man and perhaps these two thought are stupid ideas,but I am a football fan who wants to see all clubs throughout the country continue for years to come.some of our top brains are employed on huge salary's by the FA, are they doing anything to protect our national game,doesn't seem like it from where I'm looking.

I use to watch Hereford a little bit back in the early 90's,alongside approx 1500-2000 supporters of the club,everyone just as passionate about their club as we are about ours,a club where Kevin Sheedy started playing his football.Back then, they use to have days in the off season where fans came in to paint the ground,make repairs,(I wonder if the meadow end loos were ever improved) or weed the terrace,I bet that still happens.
I'd wager everyone who follows the Fa cup will know about Ronnie Radfords goal which took Newcastle United out the competition.Tomorrow they might be gone,where will their loyal fan base watch the national sport then ?.

I'm fortunate that I support and love a club that isn't at risk of going out of business,yeah I moan that we don't have this and we don't have that,our chairman gets stick because he seems to be a wee bit tight or so we think.but spare a thought tomorrow for the players,employees ,and fans who may or may not have a club to support come next August.

The problem with football is that financial misdeeds are at least as endemic (if not more endemic) in the leagues between the Championship and the Conference - some clubs come up via (in some cases massive and totally unsustainable) spending and are entirely dependent on the owner continuing their investment for their survival (Crawley, Fleetwood, even QPR etc) and other clubs get screwed over by crooks or idiots (Wrexham, Chester City (RIP), Hereford, Luton, Stockport, Portsmouth, Leeds etc) and end up bankrupt, groundless and in many cases in the Conference.

The problems lie with the owners and with the FA. Get rid of the owners - by ensuring that clubs that go into administration can only be taken out of administration by a fans trust, and by putting owners at the very end of the queue when it comes to "debt" repayment - and the situation would vastly improve.

basically the FA dont give a damn about anything but themselves

Didn't chester city go the same way?

Vaughn was well dodgy. All sorts of stories if you look online where money was going.

I have family in Hereford and they said most of the people they know simply aren't bothered if Hereford FC winds up or not.

They all pick a club to support down there, UTD/Chelsea/RS/Arsenal and don't bother watching the club on their own doorstep.

well an average attendance of nearly 1800 for a side that just avoided relegation from the conference suggests otherwise.

In a city of 70k with no other sport teams, activities, etc... yeah superb support that.

 

[blue61]

If they were wound up, would Chester be reinstated to the conference, as they were the team that Hereford effectively relegated? Only asking as a curious cestrian.

 

[superkeeper]

I think that's what happens. This is what has happened in the past few seasons.

If you make an implicit guarantee to save clubs from going bankrupt, you'll see a lot more clubs going bankrupt. Moral hazard an all.

 

[Groucho]

Sheedy started there didn't he?

Probably, though the Conference has form for making stupid decisions (letting the Vaughan-era Chester City in even though they were in breach of most of the rules relating to finance and ownership, for instance) so nothing can be guaranteed.

Cheers, I know everyone at Chester were gutted to get relegated after three successive promotions.

There needs to be a huge restructure of the lower leagues with focus on determining what is feasibly professional and semi professional.

There's a vacuum with all the money sucked out at the top and less primary local following. Sky have done an amazing job at turning football into a product and most young lads in these wee towns want to identify themselves with a big successful team.

Or in other word: bad bad kopites.

Its for this reason alone why Hereford must be put out of business and a bomb dropped on the town to rid itself of kopites.

Move aside Michael Garcia, there's a new fixer in town.

But Hereford is actually a nice place.
