Yesterday afternoon BBC Hereford and Worcester were at Edgar Street for their sports programme and editor Trevor Owens spent sometime discussing the financial situation at the club.
To start Owens played part of his interview with chairman David Keyte recorded last Thursday.
"We have a VAT bill of about £45,000, predominately from 2008/09, which just adds to it being a bit galling.
"It's one thing to be battling away week by week in the present day but it's a bit beyond to have to face up to the fact that you've got to pay previous debts.
"We are trying to negotiate some sort of payment scheme."
Owens asked Keyte if he regretted 'coming in now'.
"I don't in many ways because the whole involvement with the football club and the people has been great.
"On a personal level I possibly have some regrets about carrying it in these last two years.
"And I think now is the time for people in Herefordshire to say we need to be helping."
Would you go now if someone came in and made you an offer?
"I personally don't want to go now because I don't think we have completed the job.
"I think like so many businesses in the country at the moment people are stagnating because of the financial climate.
"But I think there is still a lot to be done to take the football club forward and a lot of big potential investment.
"We've got permission from the council as our landlords to develope both ends of the ground and and yet there are not too many property developers wanting to jump in at the moment."
Owens then mentioned the word part-time.
"I think that is the thinking we have to go through, that's why I've invited shareholders to come along and have an open discussion.
"If somebody could tell us well actually there is just a bit of a blip at the moment but in twelve months you'll be back up to 2,200, 2,300, 2,400 crowds it wouldn't be such a dark discussion.
"But if this is where it's going to be for a few years now, part-time football I sure would be on the agenda because we need to look at every single angle to keep it moving forward."
Owens suggested that might be a retrograde step.
"That's the dilema. I'm not going to watch that football team until they start winning. You don't start winning until you can get better players. The common denominator is money."
Hereford Times sports editor Richard Prime was then interviewed by Owens.
"They say history repeats itself but this is one that, really, we didn't quite see coming, quite this quickly.
"We all know what dire straits Hereford was in sixteen, seventeen years ago and it looks like matters are pretty much repeating themselves.
"A variety of reasons but we'll be watching the gate this afternoon to see whether it can edge towards the 2,200, 2,400 that David Keyte wants to see for a break-even figure.
"There are substantial overheads in running a football club of this size if they want to remain full-time.
"I see there have been some distrubing talk about going part-time which would very much be the start of a slippery slope for the club.
"So you hope the fans will respond today."
"It's not a cheap afternoon out and Hereford have been particularily unlucky how the fixtures have worked out. A Saturday game followed by a Tuesday night game is quite a bit of money especially when the team isn't doing well.
"A lot of people treat this as a family day out. You are not going to get much change out of £60/£70 and for what.
"There are so many options these days. The club has to address that. They have to provide value for money for what people are getting."
Finally the conversation moved onto chairman Keyte's 16% share in Hereford United.
"Everybody is going to look towards David because he is the one who had the guts to folk out the money to buy the shares and therefore people think he is the club.
"Part of the problem is yes David quite rightly says there are 84% of the shares still out there but unfortunately probably 40% of that 84% are completely lost. Nobody knows where they are, they've just disappeared into thin air over the years since 1924 when the club became a company.
"So they are not going to be traced.
"There are perhaps 300 shareholders who have any interest in the club and it's going to be down to them.
"There are some people with a lot of money within that 300 but it's whether they think that money is wisely invested when it comes to putting it into Hereford United."
After yesterday's game Owens received several texts from Hereford supporters. Here's one from Tim Burrows.
"I'm one of the 1500 or so remaining die-hards yet I'm driving back to Gloucester querying how much longer I can justify giving up my Saturday afternoons and the best part of £30 to follow the Bulls.
"I entirely understand why the gates are so poor. The problem is that we are in the fifth consequetive season of losing football at Edgar Street.
"I understand attendances have a bearing on the pitch. What happens on the pitch has a far greater affect on attendances.
"It's a vicious circle we are in and there's no obvious way out. Depressing."
Back to chairman David Keyte.
"It's very tough running a non-league team. Gates are down. The recession is biting and the paying spectator has to make priority decisions on a Saturday afternoon as to where that £16 goes.
"Just below 2,400 is our budgeted gate, we are sitting on 1,850 after six games.
"The more worrying trend is last three were 1600.
"We need to do a lot of thinking and forward planning if we've got to reshape the club to 1600.
"The supporters would have to accept that we would have to cut back on player wages and right through the club to office.
"When I got on board two summers ago it was really with a view to trying to take the club forward and I've nailed my colours to the mast with the fact that the football club needed to get some revenue in outside of attendances.
"And so we refurbished the supporters club and the theory was that will bring in extra money but it does follow on matchday that if there are only 1600 around the ground as opposed to 2400, there is less beer being drunk, less programmes being bought. It has a knock on effect.
"But if that is where it is going to be then we need to sit down - I've written to the shareholders to express some thoughts and welcome views from them in a forthcoming meeting to plan the next three or four years."
Owens suggested that Keyte was probably not a bottom-less pit when it comes to putting money into the club.
"Quite frankly if the message is only 1600 want to come and watch Hereford United, the first question is does Herefordshire want a professional football club.
"It has got to be wider than one person, the chairman, or the board of directors, in our case four people.
"We got 40,000 shares in Hereford United and I've got 16% so the vast majority of the ownership is not me.
"There's no logic for one person to be dipping into his pocket all the time."
Finally a couple of texts. First Bob.
"Why are they overstaffed in terms of the management?"
And James:
"Disappointing that David Keyte seems unable to prevent the club losing money. Surely it's time to look at some of the club's other expenditure, Gary Peters etc."
