The Football Association are ready to take action against Swindon Town for non-payment of gate receipts from the FA Cup second round tie against Hereford United.
The cash-strapped Division Two side should have paid the money to Hereford United by 22nd December, two weeks after the game, but the Nationwide Conference club are yet to receive a penny. Swindon have had their bank account cancelled and have reported debts of £10 million, including almost £1 million to the inland revenue.
In reply to a query sent to the FA, a spokesman commented: "We are aware of this situation and we are endeavouring to ensure that Hereford receive their share of the gate receipts from the match."
