From the Archives - After Brighton

15 seasons ago in the week after Brighton sent Hereford United down to the Conference, there was very little news coming out of Edgar Street.

And what did emerge was quite brief and to the point.

May 7th 1997:

HEREFORD have persuaded Graham Turner to withdraw his offer to resign. Turner, the club's director of football, had offered to stand down following Hereford's demotion to the GM Vauxhall Conference on Saturday

May 10th:

QUOTE of the week:

I will be staying as chairman. No other idiot wants to come forward - Peter Hill, chairman of Hereford United, relegated from the Nationwide League.

May 12th:

AND another one from Peter Hill:

"Hereford will not die. We've had 25 wonderful years and we'll be back. When I took over I had hair. Not any longer. I was going to wear a toupee if we won today. Now I'll use it to wipe away my tears."
