Waiting for the Richardsons

In his weekly column in this morning's Hereford Times, Bulls manager Graham Turner has given his latest views on his hopes for development at Edgar Street.

"What we need now are some positive steps in terms of development at the two ends of the ground.

"It has been very difficult to get anything positive because there has been so much doubt about what we could do.

"The ideas that we wanted to bring forward for commercial development at both ends now seem to be incorporated in plans for the cattle market.

"Among the business opportunities were a fitness centre, hotel or cinema but it seems that they are all earmarked for the cattle-market development.

"Attracting the right partner for our development is very much down to the Richardsons at present.

"I know that they are working hard to attract the sort of businesses that will, firstly, enable us to pay off the debt to the Richardsons and, secondly, give us facilities that are more in keeping with what supporters demand as well as, finally, making the club's longer-term financial prospects more secure."
