Oh Dear!
New Owners Considering Administration/CVA
By Bobo
The Hereford Times reports the following from today's Court hearing:
Registrar Stephen Baister adjourned the petition until June 30 this morning after club lawyers told him that the club was purchased last week and the new owners are investigating options including administration and a creditors voluntary arrangement (CVA).
The registrar said that he would give the club until June 30 to 'look into all those possibilities'.

Hereford United winding-up petition adjourned for 28 days (From Hereford Times)
Any Administration or CVA deal would incur the wrath of the Conference and a ten point deduction. That deduction could still be incurred this season, effectively relegating the Bulls to Conf North for 2014/15, if the Conference chose to do so in line with their rules.
Winding Up Petition Adjourned For 28 Days
By Bobo
The Winding-Up Petition against the Bulls has been adjourned for 28 days.
The High Court granted the extension this morning, with a club statement saying that the time would give the two sides more time to negotiate.
It is understood that, despite the 28 day extension, any agreement will have to be determined ahead of Friday's Conference AGM in order to avoid falling foul of Conference rules.
News Round-Up
By Bobo
To make things worse, Bulls banter is alive with rumours that, allegedly, the new owner has a 7 year conviction for lorry theft! The Conference won't sanction any new arrangement if that is true, so the club would be history on Friday.
