Hereford United FC

From reading their forum it appears the court has agreed to wind up the club.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

Apparently the current owner Andy Lonsdale got "stuck in traffic" on the way to the court with his proof of funds. Sounds like the judge got fed up with excuses then and issued the order to wind up the club.

[Sir Rebel1965]

Or did he not even have enough money for his bus ticket!

[HorshamRebel]

After asking where Lonsdale was a second time they had to say they had no idea. That's when the judge decided enough was enough.

They told the judge that the £1M HAD been transferred today but could then not show any proof that it had without Lonsdale... so the timeline says.

 

Still all a complete mess to the dying seconds

[Ian]

You would think that Lonsdale would have been there two hours before to ensure his attendance at such an important hearing.

 

Their game at home to Hitchin tomorrow has been postponed.

[GlenSTFC]

This has been on the cards since they were took over, utter madness its taken this long to decide this, wasting so many peoples' time.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

Seems the drama is only just beginning

Looking through one of their forums one of them makes a good point about the southern league having to take some blame from this, with many of the premier clubs including us now losing out because they accepted the crooked owners of Hereford into the league.

[Brighton on holiday]

Hereford, Banbury - makes you feel confident in the people that run the Southern league

[Sir Rebel1965]

True Warren, we are still waiting for Ken Turner and co to work out that if a Banbury fan throws a bottle at the ref in a game where the Banbury stewards were lacking in the tunnel area, with a tunnel at the Banbury ground that gave no protection to the players and officials and because Banbury were losing, if any action should be taken against Banbury.

 

Looks like the turkey will go cold in the Turner house hold this Christmas while Ken works out if it will be cranberry or bread sauce he puts on the plate!

Well they've got to make sure it doesn't benefit Slough (even if it does them) even though Slough are totally blameless in this.

 

The only way everyone from Slough doesn't loose anything (club, fans, players) is give slough a 2-1 win.

SIMPLE 

Banbury can not gain anything.

[RebelDelaney]

What if were losing 2-1 we would want the the points still or the game replayed.

I think the score should not come into the eqaution.

There supporter caused the problem.

We should get the points full stop otherwise it will happen again some where else even in a replayed game

I might be wrong but i did not see any sercurity staff at the Frome game.

What are the FA and Southern League playing at.

[Rebel Kay]

It is the FA lack of decision that is holding up the league decision here.

[Big J R]

I'd be interested to know where you Slough guys think Hereford will now end up !

 

I really do feel sorry for Hereford.  Yet another club destroyed by one mans egotism ??

Reformed fans team next season at step 5 or 6.

 

With their fan base they will most probably do an AFC Wimbledon and climb the divisions immediately.

[Reading Rebel]

The Bond that Hereford had to lodge with the Southern League was there to compensate clubs for wasted journeys in the event of Hereford being wound up.

 

Apparently it's been spent on other debts.

 

What are the Southern league going to do about compensating clubs because they are owed money for wasted journeys? 

[GlenSTFC]

So you're saying Hereford never lodged that bond with the league? If so how was that allowed to happen!

[Reading Rebel]

As far as Hereford supporters know, it was lodged with the Southern League.

 

Of course, as the Southern League bent over backwards to let the con-men of Hereford into the Southern Premier, I wouldn't be surprised if the Bond never actually exchanged hands.

 

A farce from start to finish from the Southern league, leaving cash strapped clubs to pick up the pieces.

[GlenSTFC]

If the bond is what you say it's for then all clubs rightly should be expecting compensation from the league. If the league messed up and never received it then that's their problem and they should pay out themselves.

[Sir Rebel1965]

The bond is being paid, it is just stuck in traffic.
