No surprise, Salisbury I think managed to get new investment otherwise they could gone the same way.

A real shame, I was looking forward to that game, even though the ground is pretty grim. I feel for their fans, it is not as if they had years of glory on the never never (unlike Argyle and others).

Feel for all Hereford fans. Similar size club to us a lessons from this might need to be learned but those in charge of ours.

Chester away. Great news. Imagine the cuts Chester have made from relegation and they now find themselves still in premier

Shame, always liked Hereford as a club (first game I ever saw at Plainmoor) and as a similar size to us, the perils are there for us to see. Potentially this is a legacy of them over-extending themselves to get into L1?

But on the other hand, pleased for Chester. Used to love there, went to the Deva stadium a few times in their conference winning year and positive that a re-started club can get to the Conf so quickly after reforming.

Upon reflection it's a sad day for football. Traditional club that has sadly gone bust. Will always remember ronny radford scoring that FA cup goal against Newcastle and the fans in Parker coats evading the pitch. Lessons must be leant as this as stated could be us. Been on chesters fans forum, and full respect to them no one is bragging about being reinstated, they are gutted for Hereford as they know it was once them!

Daniel Leadbitter is naturally unhappy. His tweet is amongst these listed here. He apparently played for free with a broken leg. Maybe an improvement on his Plainmoor outings!!!

Looks like Salisbury could go too, have to pay creditors by 5pm tomorrow.

I believe Macclesfield have a few issues as well, but Salisbury seem to be in a worse state. Trip to Dartford on the cards perhaps!

What is going on in Hereford is very dodgy. It is as yet still uncertain if the club will continue. Pre-season friendlies are being cancelled by opposition teams for what seems to be a show of solidarity with very angry fans.

I can't help but feel some sadness every time I walk past Edgar Street.

Absolutely totally agree HRG. I have visited the Bulls Forum site a few times and although I don't haven't closely followed what's going on, it is a travesty what is happening to a friendly and previously well run club. I feel so sorry for the fans - here's hoping one of them has a big win on the Lottery !!

There is talk of a Phoenix club but we shall have to wait and see. It's the lies that hurt the most. Some are owed thousands, have been told the cheque is in the post but it never arrives. There are rumours of the new owner trying to transfer the ground leases to his company, which is worrying as we have just had a new shopping and restaurant complex open over the road. The supporters trust offered to buy the club but it was instead sold to a newcomer to the area who apparently has a criminal record. The fans fought like hell to raise the money to keep the club going and they have been badly let down.

I may be a TUFC fan, but I am also a Herefordian. It's such a shame.

Now even more problems, HRG. I see that the Council has closed Edgar Street on Health & Safety grounds - no matches can be played there until the ground has been brought up to standard. What a total mess - really feel for the fans.
