Time about to run out for their survival. New investors promised by their chairman David Keyte for last weekend have failed to materialise and if it doesn't happen in the next couple of days they are goosed. Now too late for their Supporters Trust to step in even if they had a credible plan, which is stretching believability. Players who stuck with it even without being paid are now abandoning them. If the new investment was really going to happen in time the board could have paid them what was owed. Desperate times.

Hereford United escaped the drop by using better players, players that were then not paid. I would save your sympathy for those clubs who operated in a financially responsible way but we're relegated.
If Hereford were in our league they would have been deducted 10 (or maybe 20) points but the conference has no provision for deducting points. How would you feel if Stanley were relegated below another team that had been into administration twice, writing off their debts and starting again with a clean slate?

Which has what to do wi the ordinary fan,who follows the club?

smudgie · 31-05-2014, 09:40

Saddens me to see another old fashioned club going up the wall.

The Conference is actually far stricter than the Football League when it comes to penalties for financial issues. If Hereford haven't cleared their debts in full by the time of the AGM they are out. CVA's and administration don't help. They bring about a points deduction in season and there are transfer embargoes similar to those that exist in the Football league for non payment of players. Aldershot were given a ten point deduction at the beginning of the season for being in Administration when they came down from the Football League and told they had a season to get their finances in order with all debts paid off or they were straight through to the leagues lower than Conference North/ South which I believe they have managed to do. I hope Hereford manage it as well as I don't want to see anybody go to the wall and there have been a number of occasions in recent years when our players haven't been paid on time, something I hope is well and truly behind us.

Thanks for the detail, Lost.. I really didn't know all that

What it has to do with the ordinary fan? About as much as Stanley's demise in 1962 had to do with the ordinary Stanley fan. Or the liquidation of rumbelows, Woolworths and boo.com had to do with their customers. Businesses have to pay their way and if they don't then they fail, irrespective of the feelings of their ordinary fans/customers.
It's cruel but it also allows for new viable businesses/clubs to come through. My point is that Hereford signed players they could not afford and so cheated their way to staying in the league while other clubs were relegated after behaving responsibly. So I know where my sympathy lies.

Having a different opinion to Cashman on any issue means you're dumb.

Simples.

ianray (Ray to his friends) said there are no more places in the cashman stupid club.
Ray is the current chairman of the club and I am the life time president.
We may have a vacancy for a club secretary, but cashman hasnt ridiculed you enough for you to be considered a worthy applicant.
Keep talking common sense and one day you will be worthy of entry to the cashman stupid club.
