As expected a meeting to look at the possibility of setting up a supporters trust at Hereford United has been arranged.
UPDATE 12.30pm: The meeting has been postponed to allow Supporters Direct time get a proper strategy together before any meeting.
YourHereford explains:
Next Sunday, I have planned a meeting for all Hereford United supporters to discuss the future. The meeting will include a discussion on the possibility of a Supporters Trust. Several fans have already committed themselves to attending and we also have a couple of HUISA members, including a co-founder of HUISA (Gary Bradley) attending.
I have been posting under the username of 'YourHereford' on Bulls Banter over recent days. YourHereford is a group that has been set up to help inspire the people of Hereford to seek positive change in the community they live in. We have been working hard lately on a number of local issues, one being the racecourse and are hoping for some more news in the week ahead.
Hereford United is a huge part of the city of Hereford. The club brings in a lot of business to the city throughout the season and the financial issues the club faces are not just a worry for Hereford supporters, they should be a worry for the city as a whole. Whilst many have quite rightly helped the club financially over recent weeks, I have myself become a bit worried regarding the debt that is owed to the taxman. I believe that supporters money should be ring fenced and once a target amount is reached, it should be used to pay the priority debt to the taxman. Whilst I'm happy to see the hard working staff and players at the club paid, I think it would make more sense to of kept the money.
During the meeting I would like the supporters who attend to discuss many issues, including how a Supporters Trust could go about making positive changes to put Hereford United back on a forward route.
Today the Exeter City Supporters Trust offered their help and they will hopefully be sending over some more detailed information about how they were set up and how they are so successful with over 2800 members each paying £2 or more a month to 'own' the football club.
The Supporters Meeting is likely to be on Sunday 4th November at about 2pm (Hopefully somewhere at the HUFC).
