Ensuring that Edgar Street remains a football stadium is the key to the future says HUST chairman Chris Williams.
Speaking to BBC Hereford and Worcester Williams said there was no alternative because of the cost.
"I am confident that a football club will be playing at Edgar Street next season," said Williams.
"The indications from the Council are that they want football to continue at the stadium.
"Without that resource (Edgar Street) there would be no potential for professional football in Herefordshire ever because there just isn't the finance in this county to deliver that.
"So the protection of Edgar Street and the Save Edgar Street campaign, the work that the fans have done has been phenominal in trying to bring that to a higher profile.
"The stadium is the key now to playing professional football."
Williams also revealed that he understands former chairman/manager Graham Turner is happy to help out with forming a new club.
