Fans Support Extra Revenue Sources Says Keyte


Hereford United chairman David Keyte has said that he believes supporters accept that the club has to raise more revenue from different sources. And he is hoping that both the new '1939' debenture scheme and share issue will help.

"I was very encouraged at the share-holders meeting where a number of people spoke up along the lines that it has been a long time in coming," Keyte told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"We do need to change the financial structure of the club."

Several directors and supporters who have helped the club with loans through the past year or so have indicated they will consider exchanging some or all of their loans into shares.

Meanwhile consultant Stuart Blake, who is helping the club with fund-raising, told the Hereford Times that he had received some interest in the '1939' scheme.

"There has been interest locally, from London and even from overseas,” said Blake. 

"We have a target of 70 and there have already been 20 or 30 expressions of interest." 

Finally Luke Graham has acknowledged that wages at Edgar Street will be lower than last season.

"Wages aren't going to be great but we are going to get hungery players that want to play for the shirt and want to play for Martin (Foyle)," he told BBC H&W.
