Commercial Director George Webb is to stand down from the Hereford
FC board at the club's AGM, explaining that the time is right with the Bulls
moving in a new direction with big projects being planned in the community.
"Fresh energy will help drive those
projects forward and I look forward to seeing how they develop," said Webb, as reported on the club's official website.
“In my time on the board, we have tried to
build the club by operating with some simple business rules such as keeping
tickets as cheap as we can for kids and families to encourage the next
generation of fans, looking to maximise our commercial income and build
long-lasting relationships with the business community, and also to never spend
money where it was not needed.
"That’s why my fellow board members have always
taken great delight in mocking me for the way I want the floodlights on as late
as possible and off as soon as possible.
“I have been proud to be on the club’s board and on the whole it has been a really enjoyable experience. There have been difficult times, but they have been far outweighed by the memorable days out we have had and the fantastic clubs we have visited and the people we have met.
“I would like to say thank you to our amazing office staff, the football staff, the ground staff and the commercial team for their support – they work tirelessly for this club, working incredibly long hours, and I genuinely believe you cannot understand how hard people have to work to keep the club moving forward unless you’ve been involved.
“Equally as importantly I would like to thank all our fantastic volunteers – including all the Directors I have worked alongside – and anyone who offers their time to help our football club in any way they can. Volunteers are the backbone of this club, from top to bottom, and I am always amazed by the extra mile people are willing to go, whatever the task.
“Finally, I’d like to thank the club’s loyal, committed supporters for the dedication they have to our football club. Although on the field the past 18 months have not quite lived up to the ambitions we all have, I’m confident that if people remain right behind the club, we will all be rewarded by a return to the Football League in the years to come.”
