Hereford United FC

[GlenSTFC]

Yeah wouldn't be surprised to hear a pathetic excuse similar to that! The league really have made themselves look like amateurs and very naive. They totally got fooled by the Hereford owners.

[Graham Cox]

Is there any other avenue of appeal for Hereford ?

[HorshamRebel]

Legally, the Southern League are liable to pay any compensation, either out of the bond, or from their own pockets if it wasn't paid 

 

Very FIFAesc

Not sure they can appeal if they've been wound up. How long would an appeal take? And they wont have any players.

[Neil Baker]

You can appeal, like Kettering did last year (as if you remember they were wound up by the High Court) however I believe they have 7 days to do it etc, but I cant see this happening, as Herefordshire Council have taken back possession of the ground and leases today (which would have been the value for the owners) so therefore I would be very surprised if they appealed.

 

I think Hereford is no more, and we will lose 4 points:

 

On the flip side the only sides above us who will not lose 3 points are Cirencester (who have not played them) Poole (who drew with them, and lets be honest we have no chance of catching) and Weymouth who have not played them (and again who we will not catch).

 

Truro, Corby, Chesham, Hungerford, Redditch will all lose 3 points (but will only have one game come off their total) St Neots will lose 6 points (so we gain 2 on them straight away) and Dunstable are in the same boat as us losing 4 points.

 

Therefore if we can win the game in hand that we will earn from losing 2 games from our total, we can actually make up 2 points on Truro, Corby, Chesham, Hungerford, and Redditch.

 

On another note we hope to be in a position to announce a new signing to the squad this evening.

[GlenSTFC]

How does it work exactly as some have yet to play Hereford United, some have played once and some twice? So all teams will play a total of 40 games this season?

[GlenSTFC]

Don't worry Neil regarding your last paragraph I've already made a mental note to myself!

[Mark44]

44

[GlenSTFC]

Ah yeah forgot it started as a 24 team league.

[staines_rebel_Jr]

Just think of the games against hereford as competitive friendlies, no points but useful in a way.

[Neil Baker]

Don't worry Neil regarding your last paragraph I've already made a mental note to myself!

We are watching Glen, you need to be on your best behaviour

[GlenSTFC]

I know there's no way around it but it's unfair on teams who have played them twice and got 4 or 6 points but nothing to show for it especially when nearly everyone (apart from the suits

[GlenSTFC]

Any news on this new signing Neil/Jon?

[Jon Underwood]

I'm afraid an update on this one will need to be made after Boxing Day now but we are hopeful that it will be a positive announcement!

[Reading Rebel]

My monies on a midfielder     

[GlenSTFC]

I'd guess it won't be a goalkeeper or striker. Possibly a winger?

[GlenSTFC]

I'm also guessing I may or may not like the new signing before I've even seen him play.

[Matt]

What if you've seen him play before, Glen?

[GlenSTFC]

Although as Rummy is departing soon it could be a direct replacement for him?
