I've just taken a look at the official statement on the Southern League website regarding the HUFC, and the Chairman certainly appears to be having a right old go at the HUFC supporters who have been posting threats and sending emails to the SL for even considering allowing HUFC to start the season under the new ownership at the club. I then took a look at the HUFC Forum, and the venom currently being posted on there is quite frigtening to be perfectly honest. There is mention of their fans trust (HUST) actually visiting away grounds on the days HUFC are due to play there, and cause as much disruption as possible to make their feelings known. Are these the sort of people we want a Hardenhuish Park next season  ??

Hereford fan here, in peace. I am not sure where super sweeper has the impression that HUST members etc will be turning up to away grounds to cause disruption. I would also temper against believing what the SL Chairman has said about threats etc, as I do not believe a word that comes out of his mouth. We have concerns over a number of issues, regarding the management of the SL. Firstly, why have we been granted a place in the competition when we STILL haven't paid all of our bills? Secondly, Mr Turner has refused to enter in to dialogue with anyone regarding these and other issues, including media looking in to the whole affair. Thirdly, why did Mr Mills make phone calls to creditors, presumably at the behest of the current board at HUFC? Most tellingly, the first time our biard said they had paid creditors they sent a picture of cheques to the SL as proof, and they accepted this. The cheques were never sent. This is fraud and yet the SL did NOTHING about this.

From where I stand, the board of this competition are at best, not fit for purpose and seem to be hell bent on accepting the corpse of a once proud club, regardless of the machinations behind the scenes. If you want to look back at the goings on over the last two months or so try Bullsnews. Do not listen to anything from club sources or from the SL board. They are both an absolute disgrace. 

I actually live about 10 miles from Hardenhuish, but like the majority of HUFC fans will not be visiting. Good luck for the season.

My pleasure. We are hopeful that we will win this battle, that may well mean us reforming a couple of divisions lower, but rather that than this charade. With the players signed so far, HUFC are a dead certain for bottom spot!
