James Young, writing in the Gloucestershire Echo, says that Hereford will be back, but their plight is a warning to every other club.
In the last week, the High Court eventually pulled the plug on the club over an unpaid debt of £116,000 to HM Revenue and Customs.
I am by no means an expert on how the club got in to that mess, and it's maybe a little more complicated than the explanation I’m about to give – but they were probably spending too much.
I’m almost certain that the troubles they got into were because they were paying too much money out to expensive footballers and not getting enough in.
When that money was being spent, the fans were probably joyous about the club speculating to accumulate, about how it would help them take that next step forward.
Fans perhaps forget that administration is a serious business, as is owing vast sums to creditors and having no means to pay them.
Countless times when it has happened in the English leagues a white knight has ridden to the rescue of a club, paid off the debt and prevented liquidation.
It happens so often that fans get desensitised to the risks of spending beyond the club’s means. Perhaps what has happened to Hereford will be a timely reminder.
The Bulls will rise again, of that there will be no doubt. Just as happened in 1924 when two clubs merged to form Hereford United, people with an interest in football will rally behind a new club.
A supporters trust will ensure that a new club is formed and all the mechanics will be put in place for AFC Hereford United (why are they always AFC?) to start the season in August 2015.
And you know what, I would imagine that those that are involved in the new club will have a blast doing it.
It will be a club run by the supporters and just like Aldershot Town and AFC Wimbledon they will march up the leagues in no time.
Hopefully, before long that new club will lock horns with Cheltenham Town, to rekindle a rivalry that goes back to when both were in the Southern League.
The club will have a new name and be a different entity, but it will still be the same Hereford that shocked the world in the FA Cup in 1972, with former Robins star Ronnie Radford scoring that goal.
Football needs rivalries. Derby games turn boring lower-League fixtures in to atmospheric bun fights with a whole lot more riding on them than League points.
And the sooner the Robins and Hereford lock horns again, the better. Good luck Bulls fans, we’ll hopefully see you soon
