Hereford FC could benefit to the tune of £15,000 if it makes an application to the Matchday Support Fund.
The fund has been set up to help clubs prepare for the safe return of football and supporters to stadiums.
Eligibily for funds seems straight forward.
'Every applicant must be a club with a minimum of 12 months’ security of tenure over their stadium for the 2020/21 season by freehold, leasehold or licence, and have the responsibility for operating it on matchdays.'
What can the grant be spent on?
The fund will help eligible clubs cover the costs of implementing their COVID-19 risk assessment and action plan. It should be spent in one or more of the following areas:
- keeping facilities and equipment clean
- maintaining social distancing and avoiding congestion
- promoting good hygiene
