Resolution On Name Change Fundraiser Passed

As well as a resolution on changing the name of Hereford FC back to Hereford United, there was a second important resolution passed at last night's HUST AGM.

This was about fundraising to support the name change.

In essence HUST would run a ringfenced fundraiser to cover the cost of the change of name.

In support of the resolution the spokesman for Bring Back United explained that the campaign had asked for pledges of money to cover their estimate that the 'change' would cost around £9500. In addition to that amount they had received an offer from a supporter, Keith Hall, that he would donate a similar amount.

At this stage it isn't known how much the 'change' of name might cost.

For clarity this is the resolution in full:

'If a vote of Hereford FC shareholders to change the name of the football club to Hereford United Football Club is sucessful, HUST shall run a ringfenced fundraiser; and shall, upon receiving quotes from HFC and subject to HUST's approval of such quotes, either pay such quotes directly or provide the club with funding of up to the amount raised within the fundraiser (minus any additional administration cost). Further, that all monies raised in excess of the final costs to change the name shall be donated to the club for use on the playing budget.'
