An article in the latest edition of the Hereford Heckler calls for Hereford United to aim to become a community based club.
SWITCH IT TURNER!
What is going on at Edgar Street? Out of the cup, unable to score, low crowds, low morale on the pitch and terrace. Have we just been unlucky or are we not good enough to stay in League One?
Everyone knows goals win games and if you’re not scoring them then you’re not going to win much. It doesn’t take a genius to see we need a striker or two. Defensively we haven’t been too bad so maybe splashing some cash on a couple of players will change things. But the transfer window doesn’t open till January, and at the rate we’re going we’ll be down by then.
Compared to last season we’ve been very unlucky with injuries. Giant goalkeeper Matt Murray and speedy winger Lionel Ainsworth are the latest players to be side lined. But at least are not as crap as Cheltenham Town!
There have been some quiet murmurings about changing the board or the manager, but let’s face it, it’s not really the best time to be looking for new owners. The best long term possibility would be for United to become a community owned club, it wouldn’t guarantee success but at least there’d be more input from the supporters
who pay their money every week.
And as managers go two promotions in three years isn’t all that bad. Let’s hope Graham Turner can switch things around a bit and get it sorted. What ever happens, this is going to be a long season.
Unfortunately for the Bulls, in another article the 'Heckler' suggests:
If you’re in need of some quality sporting entertainment this winter and ticket prices elsewhere are putting you off, we recommend you get yourselves down to Wyeside (home of Hereford Rugby Club) and cheer on the lads. Where else can you enjoy a pint of quality local ale while watching quality local sport?
