The lease documents published on Herefordshire Council's website may not have been correctly signed by the club.
The lease documents should have been signed by two board members - either two Directors of the club, or a Director and the Company Secretary. In the case of all three leases they were signed by then chairman David Keyte and Lee Symonds - who was not Company Secretary but Club Secretary, a non-board position.
Hereford United last had a Company Secretary with Tim Russon, who resigned as both Company Secretary and Director on June 20th, 2012.
Back in 2008, Company law changed to drop the requirement of a company to have a Secretary. The ability to not name a Secretary only applies if the role was not written into the Articles of Association of the company, which it is with Hereford United.
