The Bring Back United group are delighted to announce we have been approached by Keith Hall (Broadcast Journalist and Radio HerefordFC presenter) with an offer to match supporters’ fundraising towards the costs of returning to the Hereford United name.
Keith has offered to match supporter donations of £9,570 (giving a total of £19,140).
This far exceeds our estimated cost of £9,570 for the name change.
Any money raised in addition to the cost of a name change is to be donated to the football club to go directly towards the playing budget. In addition to his financial donation he has also offered to volunteer his time to help the football club with any administration surrounding the name change.
This will mean the club has no financial risk to them from the name change. Instead they have a massive commercial opportunity for merchandise and publicity, and the move will also provide renewed financial impetus for the club and its fanbase, once more United.
We are grateful to Keith for this generous offer. The only way this will happen is if enough supporters join HUST and vote ‘FOR’ both of the resolutions we have proposed for the name change.
