Hereford FC shareholders have voted against a resolution to change the clubs name to Hereford United.
The resolution was put to shareholders at a Special General Meeting at Edgar Street this evening.
A 75% majority was required for it to pass.
The voting:
For 297000 Against 270000
That's 51% in favour.
There are 578000 shares in the club so just 11000 shares abstained. An excellent turnout.
A closer look at the voting suggests that very few 'small' shareholder voted with HUST in favour.
Out of the 297000 votes in favour HUST has 289000 so just 8000 others.
Against were the five founding shareholders, 250000, and 20000 from the smaller shareholders.
