Jon Hale, chairman of Hereford FC, has said that the last couple of days have been 'hard-fought' but tonight after gaining a five year lease to Edgar Street he admitted that he didn't think he had 'come down off the ceiling yet'.
Speaking on BBC H&W to sports editor Trevor Owens, Hale was asked about the five year lease.
"That was always our angle really that we needed to build long term supporter and commercial relationships and to do that we didn't feel a two and a quarter year lease that they were offering was sufficent for our proposals.
"I understand that the Council have taxpayers to protect and we've got a fan base and a football club to protect.
"Two different sides coming from two different angles but I genuinely believe that our negotiations have allowed us to come to a point we are both happy with.
"I'm delighted with the little bit of security we've got to build the club again.
"Tony Johnson (Herefordshire Council Leader) has always been straight with us as a group ever since we stuck our heads above the paraphet.
"We've met with him a number of times and there's never been any doubt in my mind that he wanted football at Edgar Street and certainly since December 19th he's come out publically and said it.
"At no time in our negotiations have we ever thought that was any different.
"I'm pleased we've come to an agreement that is right for both sides.
"It's possible we will get the keys at some point next week. The Council are going to present us with a letter that we can give to the FA with their intent to award us the tenancy.
"That will allow us then to make our application to the FA for a place in the national league system."
So what needs to be done inside Edgar Street asked Owens.
"There's work to be done. In terms of professional work certainly electrical work and some roofing.
"There's an awful lot of work that is cosmetic and can be handled by incredible amount of volunteers who have come forward offering a range of skills and materials.
"It helps our cause that we can go in there with a dedicated and co-ordinated team of people that will help us get that ground fit for purpose and ready for the big kick-off in August."
What league will you be playing in?
"I met with the FA a couple of weeks back. It's very likely we will be two leagues down from where the previous club went out of business. It looks like the Midlands Alliance.
"We are to make a presentation to the FA in mid-April. It will be that level unless we can twist a few arms that our away support will be big numbers and maybe therefore one league up from that.
"But we can't influence that that's down to the FA league committee but we just want to make sure that the FA know we are on solid ground financially."
Finally Hale thanked everyone who had helped.
"I would just like to thank to an incredible team of people behind this proposal. I really am grateful to them and also to the supporter base.
"To everybody let's enjoy the journey. Let's be patient. Let's make sure we do things in the right order.
"Let's get cracking."
