Does Hereford want a Football League club?

Does Hereford want a Football League or Conference side?   That is the question that has been posed by chairman David Keyte.   The club is currently averaging crowds 330 below budget which would mean losing £22k over the remaining five home matches.

He noted that the club had been run on a shoestring under the previous regime, but suggested that there had been a lack of investment in the ground.   Plans for both ends of Edgar Street were under discussion.

Hereford is a ‘stand alone’ club in a reasonably prosperous area, although that prosperity is still very much linked with farming and food processing which can have its ups and downs.  There is also a large retired population which either might not be interested in football or have allegiances elsewhere.
