Hereford supporter Sam Cummins has written the below article for BN following the recent managerial appointments of Josh Gowling and Steve Burr.
The announcement that Josh Gowling and Steve Burr as the new management team of Hereford FC ahead of the 2020/21 season is a great appointment for the club and will hopefully be the start of a prosperous partnership moving forward.
We, as a club, now need a period of continuity in the management side of the club after the last two seasons of chopping and changing. I felt it was a positive move to appoint Josh until the end of last season and he guided us to safety before the campaign was cut short on March 14 after the 4-0 away defeat to the hands of Spennymoor Town due to the coronavirus pandemic. Steve is the right man to assist him with a wealth of managerial experience which began 20 years ago back in 2000 at Nuneaton Borough. I can always remember our clashes with Kidderminster Harriers when he was the manager there and we came up against Josh playing for Harriers during the same time.
The new Adidas training wear and kits look good quality, hopefully the retained list will be realised soon and also we're able to bring in the right quality that we need in new players coming in. I personally hope and wish Josh and Steve the greatest success and with the fans' full support we can have a successful season pushing towards the right end of the table. Our club needs our full support once football does restart safely at National League North level for fans to be able to attend. Here's to hoping that the 2020/21 season whenever it does commence is a successful one for Hereford Football Club!
