Friendly v HUFC

Evening,

my club, Hereford, are due to play you in a friendly on the 12th July. I am sure it will be a youth squad you send as we are currently in the Southern League after a hideous couple of years which have culminated in us being taken over by a shower that simply beggar belief, fronted by a convicted Lorry thief and other assorted unsavoury characters. I won't bore you of the minute details (go to bullnews and read the last months items if you are interested), but suffice to say, to me, and the majority of loyal HUFC fans, the club we loved is now dead, and what lives on must be stopped, so that we can start up a supporter led Phoenix club (as the likes of AFC Wimbledon, Chester etc have done). Oh for the days of watching us compete in the league (against the likes of Carl Dale, Cohen Griffith and Chris Pike etc!)

I am simply here to ask that any of you who were planning to make the short trip for that friendly, please reconsider. By attending you will be enabling the new regime to claim some legitimacy. So far we have managed to dissuade local teams from even playing the fixtures that they were asked to, and maybe Cardiff may do likewise, but that may not be possible.

Anyway, thanks for reading, and good luck in your promotion push next season. My Uncle and cousins are Bluebirds fans and, although I'd never tell them, it makes them happy when you do well, so that's fine with me!

Shame what happened to you boys my mate's a Hereford fan and he went to the last game of the season when you thought you stayed up. Good luck with your New team

Great OP. I used to enjoy the trips to Hereford, amazing how far apart the clubs are now. Hope you get the Phoenix club you desire in the near future. Good luck.

Went to hereford when we played you in our FA cup season and without being offensive, I loved everything about your shitty ground lol.

And even better to see Kevin McNaughton score a cracker.

Edgar Street was the first professional ground that I ever visited. They were a great club. Hopefully the Phoenix club becomes a reality.

Let's hope that the friendly that's pencilled in is cancelled or if it's played, Cardiff fans refuse to travel.

I was looking at going to this one but will give it a miss now.

There seems to be quite a few of these unsavoury characters getting their claws into the football clubs and the authorities are allowing it to happen.

i was looking forward to going but after your great post i will not go, thanks for the info

Why doesn't the fa back situations like yours and ban unsavouries from owning clubs instead of pumping shit loads of money to the big 5. If it wasn't for the smaller clubs there wouldn't be any bigger teams. It's about time that the billions pumped in were shared more equally throughout. Up yours to the fa and the twats that cream everything

Great post and sad for what has happened. I'm boycotting. Not sure if there's a place
I'm not boycotting at the moment!! Good luck

I was planning on going with a few others.

Can't face it now.

Also ......

I got a mate to text his Hereford supporting mate who's been to a few City games with us.. and this was the response.

'Mate, I and most other Bulls fans won't go anywhere near the place while the current owner (convicted robber and Keyte are there). Our club is dead mate. I hoped that u's would cancel the game as have most local clubs. I urge all fans of all clubs to boycott the game'


It's real shame, I really wanted to got here, haven't been for years, and my lad hasn't been there yet. Probably won't get another chance now. Can't get to Yeovil either

still doesn't sit right not going to watch City and I have to be honest and had it been a crucial league game then the decision would have been a lot more difficult.

Thanks.

hi bluebirds,

really touched by some of the posts on this thread. please try and spread the word. say no to this band of asset strippers, cockney gangsters, liars, fly-tippers, thugs, and company liquidators who are trying to destroy football's famous old rickety turnip loving, bull parading, Hereford United.

I know you'll disagree with me but sometimes, when matters of greater importance than simply 'supporting the boys on the pitch,' crop up, making a conscious decision to not attend game(s) is an important step that all supporters should consider.

Occasionally the football itself is incidental compared to much more important issues surrounding the club's we support.

A mate of mine is a Hereford fan and had already warned me off this one so I won't be going.

Many City fans of my vintage have very happy memories of trips to Edgar Street.

Good luck getting rid of them. Doesn't seem that long ago we were both div 4(or whatever it was) and I'm sure you got promoted and the last game was at ninian? Or did I imagine it? 1990 ish? Terrible view in that almost flat away end but those were great days...

I think the game you are thinking of was in 96, your last home game of the season and we needed a win to make the play offs. You did us 3-2. Indeed, I never saw us beat you. The only good memories I have is of Paul Wheeler scoring a late equaliser at our place in a 1-1, and us going through to the WC final after losing 3-1 at our place in the second leg. Great days though. It's strange to see how high some of the teams in the old division 4 have managed to climb, and how low clubs from higher up have dropped. 6 years ago we were playing and beating Leeds in a league game. Next year if HUFC (not my HUFC) compete, it will be against Hungerford and Chippenham!

We just see how to deal with it differently. I think a mass boycott would do ever-lasting damage to the club, wheras what Tan has done can be easily undone. Pity there are quite a few, mainly anonymous, who can't just respect that.

Hereford's position is far far more desperate than ours and having seem us numerous times at their ground I still think 'there for the grace of God'.
