Ammonds Wary Of Potential Blackfriars End Costs

 

Hereford chairman Chris Ammonds has spoken about the demolition of the Blackfriars End and potential costs associated with it.

He has once again said that some money must be set aside to covers any unknown costs even if this means that manager Paul Caddis's budget might have to suffer.

“As a Board, fans can rest assured that we will continue to look at ways we can add to the money available to Paul, but at this stage we simply cannot commit to spending money we don’t yet have, or that we know we may need during the course of the season," he said.

“The second point is particularly relevant this summer because the work at the Blackfriars End means we could have unexpected infrastructure spends as work progresses, and also because it is vital we set money aside in our reserves given very little was left at the end of the 2022/23 season.

“The demolition is due to finish some time in July and even after just a couple of days work on site, the changes to that end are really noticeable.

"In terms of what happens after demolition, I’m pleased to be able to share with fans the news that we are having regular meetings with the council about the plans to develop that end of the ground and that it is clear a new stand for our club is very much part of those plans."

The chairman's comments are taken from his latest update:
