For this level that is mind blowing.
It makes you wonder where we could be in 10 years time if the club is run and marketed well.
We will have to be successful on the field of course.
COYW!!!

This is the sort of thread that should be hogging this forum. We all love this club and it is a pity that someone has been needlessly shifty otherwise it would be 10/10 considering the treacherous journey we have been on.

It makes me wonder where we could have been in 10 years if all these people had turned up to support Hereford United in the Conference? Genuinely, why are so many turning up to watch regional semi-pro football? |

I suspect complacency. HUFC was thought to be a permanent fixture in many of our lives and then circumstances dictated it be removed from us.
The realisation that we may never have had football at ES again I suspect has spurred on many supporters to become season ticket holders.
We need to ensure this is maintained so we can all watch out team move from strength to strength again

Is watching H(U)FC v Leyton Orient really any more of a draw than watching HFC v Rocester? Just goes to show that without David Keyte's arrogance, spite and ineptitude Hereford United would still be in existence. |

The whole point of football is to win games, get points, win promotion and play in the highest league possible. If it doesn't make a difference what league a team is in, then I don't really understand the point of competing in the first place. |

To be honest I think the cost is the major factor.
It is now much more affordable and supporters are getting great entertainment, goals, goals, goals!

I would think that last week's result will encourage the 300 or so who walked out of the Coleshill game saying never again to break that pledge. |

Point taken but if we were to start winning every game, scoring stacks of goals, playing great football the crowds would dwarf many of our seasons in League 2 and the BSP. In that sense the level makes no difference and I think part of the enthusiasm re season ticket sales etc was in anticipation of winning matches/playing great football as much as it was a sign of solidarity as part of a new club. Of course the competitive pricing makes a huge difference too compared to paying £16 to watch Braintree or Morecambe. |

Personally I'd rather be the shittest of the best than the best of the shittest. Most people seem to rather see their team steamroller shit than compete. |

Another factor is that the club are on a 'journey' now. Kind of like an x factor contestant.
People like to be part of something that is going places. Its more exciting than 17th in league two every year.

The former would probably be more entertaining than the latter, but it's hardly going to give you the fever of competitive action. No rollercoaster. Just boom boom boom "let's have a pint". |

A new club is born, so come the new supporters, These people are seeing/ have seen, the birth of a club and want to be part of its success. Price plays a part, and so does entertaining football. May not be the best, but it is entertaining (loads of goals).
