Council To Add To Winding Up Petition


Herefordshire Council say they will add their name to the current winding up petition in order to reclaim the outstanding £65,000 debt.

The Council have told the club they will consider deferring payment if the club hands over development responsibility on Edgar Street to the Council.

This from Herefordshire Council:

Herefordshire Council has today (Monday 15 September) informed Hereford United Football Club (1939) Limited that it will be supporting the current winding up petition and seeking full recovery of all monies owed to it by the club.

Both parties have previously stated their commitment to maintaining professional football at Edgar Street.  Whilst the council very much hopes that football will continue, it must balance this wish with its responsibility to recover the outstanding monies.

As such, subject to the position of other creditors, the council is happy to discuss deferring payment with the club (for a set period of time), if the council assumes responsibility for redevelopment of the ground and ends.  If this is agreed, it would allow the club to focus on football.
