On This Day In 2015

BN looks back to February 25th 2015. No games to feature as Hereford FC didn't even know which league it would be playing in.

A few of the articles that were published on that day>

Hereford FC To Advertise For A Manager


Hereford FC chairman Jon Hale has said that now the lease for Edgar Street is settled, the club can start to prepare for the football.

Whilst it might be several months before the club knows for certain in which league they will play, Hale feels they can go ahead with a search for a manager.

"Now we've got the lease we can make a presentation to the FA and also we can start to advertise for a manager," Hale told BBC H&W this morning.

"And with a bit of luck within the next couple of weeks we can start selling season tickets and we can really start talking about the important issues which is football on the pitch."

Meanwhile Hale has admitted that there's a lot of work to be done to get Herefordshire business community back on side.

"It's a massive challenge and we fully understand that there are people who have been left out of pocket by the previous club or previous regime.

"And we have to build those bridges and we want to engage with those people and see what we can offer them and they can do for us." 
 

Beadle Interested In Managing Hereford FC

Former Hereford United manager Peter Beadle has said he would like to manage Hereford FC even if it is a part-time post.

"I've been flattered by the amount of support I've had," Beadle told BBC H&W.

"I've had a lot of people message me via Twitter saying that they hope I get the job.

"There's been a lot of speculation about what league they might end up in, but that's irrelevant.


"They just need to pick the right manager for the job. My contacts base is excellent. Of course I'd be interested.

"I've been doing scouting work but you miss the buzz of working for a club.

"It would be lovely to be rung up and told it yours if you want it but I know that's not going to happen.

"Sometimes sentiment has to go out the window and you have to pick the right man for the job.

"But I do believe I have the right credentials and I am the right man for that job.

"We will wait and see."

Meanwhile former Hereford United player Kingsley James has told the Chester Chroninle that he is pleased that Hereford Supporters have a new club to follow.

"Hopefully they will look at what Chester have done over the past few seasons and be able to learn from that and follow in those footsteps.

"It was a real shame what happened to the club but they've got to leave that in the past now and look to the future." 
 

It's A Continuation Says Parrott


Hereford football historian Ron Parrott feels that the new club set to take over at Edgar Street will be a continuation of the old club.

"Provided we are in black and white and we've got the Hereford bull on the shirts and we're playing at Edgar Street, it's the start of a new chapter," Parrott told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"As club historian I was approached by the new club last week to become their new historian as well, a position I was proud to accept.

"As far as I'm concerned it's really just a continuation.

"Hereford United is still alive."

Tim Burrows has been watching the Bulls for over 40 years.

"It's very odd to find that we are going back to Edgar Street.

"I have to say over the past few months I did wonder whether I would ever set foot in the stadium again.

"So it's a real boost to every Hereford fan, perhaps I should say Hereford United, because it's still going to be Hereford United even if the name is different."
