Club Silent Over Monday's Plan


Despite several fans requesting news about plans for tomorrow's High Court date, Hereford United have so far remained silent about plans to tackle the winding-up petition.

Proceedings yesterday gave the impression that it was very much business as usual despite the axe hovering over the club. Today, the official website updated the fixture list that had been broken for several days.

Two weeks ago, Director John Edwards was "100% certain" that the club had a product to sell, on the back of renewed investment, and that season tickets and advertising would now be sold. However few of the advertisers from last season have been contacted since, and season ticket sales are understood to be a tiny fraction of those last season.

Wednesday's words from Joel Nathan that the 'Judge would look at several options' were a far cry from Andy Lonsdale's 'won't have any problems satisfying the petition' comments of the week before, giving the impression that the impending investment had either not arrived - or was not of the quantity that was previously expected.

No movement has been made either on the capacity issues at Edgar Street. In the last statement by the club on the matter, they were confident that the issues would be resolved after last Monday's match with Redditch and that further statements would be issued - but nothing has been mentioned at all.

The last news article on the official site was on August 22nd, nine days ago, which - in answering various questions - promised better communication.

Both BBC Hereford & Worcester and the Hereford Times are expected to have reporters at tomorrow's Court hearing.
