Bring Back United Update

Bring Back United, the campaign group set up to change the name of Hereford FC back to Hereford United, have issued an update.

'In November last year, a vote of Hereford United Supporters Trust members saw 81% support a return to our traditional club name of Hereford United. The following month a Special General Meeting of Hereford FC Limited shareholders decided further work should be done to investigate the name change. As we approach 12 months since the vote of supporters, we’ve been asked by supporters to provide an update on Bring Back United. 

The Bring Back United group are aware that the club board have authorised a thorough cost analysis of the name change process to take place and this is ongoing. We expect this work to include both the costs of the name change, as well as an analysis of the potential benefits from the name change.

We are fully aware that the club directors undertaking this review are volunteers, who are doing this on top of their existing duties. We would like to place on record our thanks to them for this. 

Over recent weeks we have been delighted that support for the name change still remains strong amongst club supporters, with chants being sung and flags being displayed up and down the country as our fans travel to support the team.'
