Long time Hereford United supporter Mark Blandford has revealed why he has put money into Hereford FC.
"I've known Jon Hale (Hereford FC chairman) for a long time and I was having a conversation with him along the lines of the amount of debt that the old club was getting into and clearly it couldn't go on," Blandford told the Hereford Times.
"We had to come up with a plan B in case they got liquidated.
"The objective was to see a club called Hereford in black and white playing at Edgar Street.
"Along with the three other individuals we wanted to make it more prudent because previous regimes spent a lot of time talking about development and development profits.
"We wanted to be up front and say we didn't want our money back which is emphasised in the Articles of Association.
"Effictively we are just trustees and want to make sure that the club sits by its ethos of sustainability.
"I'm delighted that the club is back and has got good people running it.
"It seems that the club have signed an exciting squad of players and I can not wait for the season to start on Saturday."
