Continuing BN's look back to the Summer of 2014 and HUST's proposed boycott vote.
HUST To Take Boycott Vote
This from HUST:
Since arriving at Edgar Street over a month ago, Tommy Agombar has
repeatedly failed to meet promises to pay former players and staff from
last season, debts to the Council, and the settlement of outstanding
winding-up proceedings. The failure to pay football creditors has
adversely affected the club significantly, seeing the club drop two
divisions and face the potential of further sanctions in the Southern
League Premier Division. It has also had substantial impact on the lives
and families of those former staff members left without payment.
The flow of information from Edgar Street officials has all but ceased,
with the news of Monday’s High Court hearing coming from officials of
Grays Athletic rather than official club channels. This underlines how
badly supporters have been treated over the past month. The current
situation cannot continue and, having repeatedly called on Mr Agombar to
pay these debts and restore some dignity to the club, we now have
little choice but to poll our members on a boycott of Hereford United
(1939) Ltd. The boycott would be on all activities of the club including
home matches, merchandise, and sponsorship.
The question to be put before members is:
“Do you agree that HUST should recommend to it’s membership to boycott
Hereford United (1939) Ltd until all footballing debts, Council debts,
and outstanding winding up petitions are settled in full?”
Members will be asked to vote by email through their registered email addresses. Emails will be sent out to members tonight.
If they do not have a registered email address they can vote by contacting HUST liaison@hufctrust.co.uk with their membership details.
Voting will close at 11pm on Tuesday, July 8th, with the result announced the following day.
