Herefordshire Council is set to think again about student accommodation at Edgar Street.
In December, the council - which owns Edgar Street - said it had committed to detailed discussions with the club about the current lease, which runs until 2030, with a view to offering a long-term lease "in the near future".
The council, which is now run by a minority Conservative administration, said this would secure Hereford FC’s home in the city for "decades to come" and provide "vital security as the club seeks to continue their development on and off the field".
As part of discussions at the end of the last year, the council said it would also be exploring options for how the Blackfriars End could be redeveloped to increase capacity and help secure the viability of the stadium.
That end of the ground, opposite the Old Market Shopping Centre, was condemned several years ago and it is not included in the current lease. It has occasionally been used to house a catering van for away supporters and the club can use it to access things like the water tanks which are behind the stand.
Now, the council is to review the opportunity to develop student accommodation at Edgar Street.
It's thought the student accommodation would make up part of a new stand at the Blackfriars End, which would also have areas for spectators.
How big that stand would be is not yet clear, though the important thing for the club will be to see Edgar Street return to a four-sided stadium.
Cabinet member community services and assets Cllr Harry Bramer and director of resources and assurance Andrew Lovegrove will be leading things for the council.
More details are expected on 22 February but the city currently only has one dedicated block of student halls, near to the railway station.
With the new university NMITE expected to continue to grow, as well as the degree courses offered by Hereford College of Arts, demand for student accommodation should also pick up.
Any redevelopment will be council-led, but it's hoped the club will have a big input on the plans.
As for who would foot the cost, that's still open for debate. Chris Ammonds did not give many details in an interview with BBC Hereford and Worcester earlier this month but hoped demolish could start as early as this summer.
