Salisbury Board Want To Follow Hereford FC Path


The board of the reformed Salisbury FC want the trustees of the RayMac stadium to follow Herefordshire Council's lead.

With over 3,000 signatures to their petition to get back to the former home of Salisbury City, a club statement on their ground difficulties states: “We have been delighted with the response of the city of Salisbury to the plight of the new football club.

“Supporters have been active and politicians, the FA and Wiltshire FA, along with Sport England, have all been expressing support for us in our attempts to get back into the Ray Mac.

“Now we just need the trustees to talk to us the way Hereford council have with the new Hereford FC, who were in a similar situation to us, over their Edgar Street ground.

“They have been granted a five-year lease, rent free for the first two years then at £10,000 a year.”

“Clearly they realise the value of a football club to their town and we hope the Ray Mac trustees are taking note of both that and the commercial aspect to that deal.

“At least we would love to talk to them. The trustees' representative said they would discuss it all with us in the spring, which is fast arriving.”

The club say they have other options should a deal not be struck, but another stadium may see them pushed lower down the pyramid.
