Bulls' hopes for cash injection dampened
The sale of a proportion of Mark Blandford's shares in Sportingbet could see him inject some of the fortune into Hereford United.
He reportedly raised just under £2.5 million from the sale, previously reported on HU-FC.co.uk, and is known to be an avid supporter of the club.
However, he has other priorities before the football club. "I know there have been expectations from some fans that I may put money into the football club, but my main priority is my family," he told the Hereford Times.
Meanwhile, the trouble at Tamworth has sparked the board of directors to make a statement on the 'hooligan element' attached to the club. The club are worried about a potential points deduction, and fine, the could be levied if the trouble continues from the twenty or so fans involved, report the Hereford Times.
At the liaison meeting, West Mercia Police will be in attendance to enter into discussions about the problem.
"The incidents, when they happen, occur at away matches," said chairman Graham Turner. "However, it must be pointed out that there were no arrests at the match in Tamworth and the problems do not occur at Edgar Street."
Turner added that court exclusion orders are required against culprits, and that four United followers are currently banned from Edgar Street.
