Hereford United EXPELLED from Football Conference

[Sweeney Todd]

Is it fair that Hereford should be expelled from the Conference when Palace's reward for entering administration twice is a clean slate, twice, and a concomitant rise to the Premier League?

 

[atfc village]

Southern League most likely.

The truth of the matter is the Premier League and Football League don't have the balls to impose a proper punishment , the Conference can get away with it because any backlash will soon be forgotten.

Mark Goldberg and Simon Jordan were both left financially broken men.
Both gambled and failed.
Some may say TB's £200 mill growing investment is gaining an unfair advantage.

3 June - Tommy Agombar takes over as new Hereford owner.

5 June - Hereford fail to meet 17:00 BST deadline to pay football creditors, and are threatened with expulsion, subject to Conference board vote.

6 June - Hereford meet with Conference board and are given new deadline of Saturday 7 June. The deadline is moved to Monday 9 June, then Thursday 12 June.

10 June - Hereford expelled from Football Conference.

So, Tommy Agombar. What exactly does he do?

Applies to the council to build a retail park on the Edgar Street ground

Feel sorry for the fans but it's good to see the conference making a stand.

Possibly. They've just finished building a new retail park on the old cattle market, be nice to expand that over the road wouldn't it!

Put them in the North East Sunday League. I put North East into google and got this http://full-time.thefa.com/Index.do?league=8982592 that looks like a close finish to the league.

Seems the Conference has more balls than the Football League.

Such action from the league may make some clubs think twice before spending beyond their means.

Lucky when you have a benefactor that builds you a ground and pumps money in

TB hasn't invested anything like £200m in the football club.

And you still have a club to support

Why do I get the feeling that Rising Sun don't like Blakelaw Social and that that 11-0 win for Greenside to pull them ahead on GD might not be entirely legit....

 

[Kent Seagull]

It's just sad that once again it's the fans who suffer the most, every community deserves a football club.

 

[Surf's Up]

Can't help but think that Hereford's problems started when they were first relegated to the Conference. There but for the grace of a God etc etc etc!

17 odd years ago Hereford United tried in vain to get Brighton & Hove Albion expelled from
The Football League.

Just sayin.

 

[Lincoln Imp]

Good, constant financial mismanagement and administration needs to end somewhere. As much as i hate Hereford, and i do, the owners have royally screwed them over.

Good news for Chester and Hayes though, who will no longer be relegated from their leagues which will help them out financially too.

Sorry. I must have missed something. What is there to hate about screwed-by-their-owners Hereford?

He has you know, add up all the losses accrued since he took over, the cost of the stadium, and training complex/academy and I bet it's pretty close.

Not that I ever want to back up a Palace fan, but I reckon he's about right. We are incredibly lucky.

Personally i havent encounted any decent fans AND they wanted us kicked out the league back in 1997.
