Last Wednesday evening Hereford United director Dave Preedy gave a detailed interview to BBC Hereford and Worcester about the financial situation at the club.
Parts of the interview have already been reported on Bulls News but given its detail here's a transcript of Preedy's thoughts.
Please note the interview was recorded before the news of the £10K donation from Bulmers which has helped the club get nearer its £78K target.
"We've got to Monday morning to raise this," said Preedy.
"And I'm confident with the generousity of the fans we can get to that final.
"Where to start, it's been everybody. It's been out there on Twitter, it's been out there on SportsTalk, on the BBC. The amount of press we've had in this last week, other football teams have been fantastic donating to us. People like Swansea, Sunderland, Bury and non-league teams like Royston doing bucket collections for us.
"And on going because this problem isn't just this week. It's an on going problem which has been well publicised. We need to keep fundraising all the time.
"But this will get us past a massive hurdle and then we have to start again and get this debts cleared and that's what we need to do.
"The £78K is just the iceberg at the moment but with good management and good budgeting and the Supporters Trust and HUISA and everybody else and the board getting together now we can realistically start setting sensible targets to take this club forward.
"But to do that we do need to get past the HMRC bill at the moment.
"We need £78K. We've just had a big meeting going through some figures we fancy we are on about the £60K mark, these are forecast figures. We are forecasting what we are going to take on the two comedy shows that Omid is doing for us.
"We've got the Saturday match which if we can get the same sort of crowd as last Saturday that tells us a figure we can get to. So we've taken those figures into account.
"What we are asking now is one more push. We have got a fantastic set of fans who want the club to survive. So we're asking for one more push, buy the extra pint, buy the extra pie, bring a mate to a game.
"If you come to the comedy club, have a pint in Addisons first. We need to make about £16K and to do that we need to call on the fans of the club to give us that final push to get us to the £78K. I'm confident we can do that.
"The message to the fans is thank you, thank you, thank you, because we've got to £60K and thank you to people outside Hereford especially as well to those who have come in and just said hey can we help.
"Shirt donations, footballs, Chelsea sent us a football the other day, the football family have really pulled together because Hereford has got that history. We just need that one more push."
Preedy was then asked 'the chairman, how is he?'.
"He's abroad at the moment keeping in touch with everything that is going on. Absolutely cock-o-hoop with what's going on, very very pleased with the fans. He's keeps saying every time I speak to him 'thank the fans'. Because that's what's driving us all the time, it's the fans."
Might there be a contingency plan if you don't hit £78K?
"You would have to speak to the Chairman. I couldn't speak for him on that, I wouldn't dream of speaking for him.
"All I'm saying is we are so close we are not going to let this club go when the fans have done so much. We are not going to let it go for £16K are we. It would be suicide, we're not going to do that.
"We are all fighting for Hereford United to be here next season."
Preedy was asked about matters on the pitch given the off-pitch problems.
"I don't get involved in the football matters too much, the football manager manages the football regardless of what's going on. But it must come over to the players as well, are we getting paid, what's the tax bill doing.
"And the players have been absolutely fantastic, to a man they've said let's pay the tax bill. They are saying the club needs to survive regardless of their wages, the club needs to survive first of all.
"If we pay them this week and can't pay the Taxman then there is no club next week. So they are very sensible, let's play football, let's do what we have to on the pitch. Leave the fundraising to the fans, they know what they're doing, they trust the fans as well. Let's just get the tax bill paid and then we can all go on from that and start working towards paying all the bills off."
Is administration a possible option?
"I think administration is always a possible option, nobody can forecast the future but with this fundraising we've had this week it's not an option at the moment. But who knows in the future. No football club can ever say it's not an option because all football clubs struggle especially in the lower leagues. It's an option for every football club in the lower leagues but it's something you try to stave off and that's what you do as supporters and fans. Don't forget the board are supporters. we are all supporters of this club and we're all going the same way.
"We need everybody to pull together."
