If it was your club you didn't look after it very well. Couldn't do much about it when a load of brainless lemmings followed the master over the edge! It's just the way you come on here sometimes and try and lord it over the rest of us can be a bit grating. You treat the rest of us as if we are MK Dons fans and you are an AFC Wimbledon fan. P.S. I agree with leaving HUFC in the past btw.

It wouldn't be a 'return' to HUFC. You would be appropriating my dead club. You’re not the only one to be affected by the demise of HUFC but most of us are trying to make the best out of a bad job. Come on United 75% ish of fans want United back 75% ish I reckon of HUST Directors don’t.

It didn't come across as 'lording it over us'. It seemed to be a well balanced statement.

Come on United 75% ish of fans want United back 75% ish I reckon of HUST Directors don’t. 75% of the 800 who voted. That’s 600. There were 2600 at the game yesterday. If you extend your argument to its semi logical conclusion, the 600 pro the change are not even a quarter of Hereford fans. i don’t see the point of it myself. Even if the £10000* figure stacks up, that’s a good sum of money that could be better used. * I had a twitter exchange with those behind the idea about a month ago. Unless they have access to the club’s books, their figures are speculative at best.

I reckon we have the influence on here to get it changed back to Twitter though seeing as we are on a roll.

What would change (other than the name) if the club were to revert back to Hereford United?
Would it just make some people very happy (a good enough reason in itself, you could argue) or just a bit smug? Would it bring the Kilpecks of this World flocking back to ES (doubt that, somehow)? Would it really make any difference to anything whatsoever?
If it cost a couple of hundred quid to do it then fair enough, I suppose. If it's a considerable sum however, then why bother?
Edit; the point being the club is a football club based in Hereford, supported by people from, or who have an affiliation with for whatever reason, Hereford.

Here we have a famous team, not enough room on their shirts for stars. Their rivals and many who detest them keep taunting them that they are a new club and have only won one championship. The idea of Rangers fans considering their restart to be a new entity and that the current team is in someways a rival to pre 2012 is laughable, restricted to green shirted folk on YouTube comments. Yet here again we have folk behaving as if Hereford _ FC are the Gas and they are City fans. It was a dodgy property developer that went bust in 2014. How this differs from all the "soft busts" of the 1980s where new companies were founded all over the place: Wolves, Bristol City and yes, Hereford United in 1982.... This is actually the fourth go if you count the flip-flopping between the two Hereford United companies.

A well put together article. I dont understand those on this forum who put no value in the history of the club. I won't reveal my age but well remember standing on the cinders and sleepers st the Blackfriars end watching the like of Charlie Thompson (even with one eye better than a lot todays 'strikers') Regie Bowen Ronnie Clayton etc etc. So yes I'm am in favour of bringing back united. The past is important and yes I would put my hand in my pocket to assist with this aim.

Come on United 75% ish of fans want United back 75% ish I reckon of HUST Directors don’t. I'm not sure why you lot get so worked up about it. It's not like I ever claim that it was only my club. It is my dead club regardless of how offended you seem to be by this fact. The only difference between me and you is that you have decided to support a new club. I have accepted that. What I would ask is for you to respect Hereford United and just leave it where it is. I think my opinion on it is actually quite valid and rather meaningful. It's just a name to most people. It's a whole dead entity to me as the whole of that part of my life has expired. I don't really expect anyone to understand what I'm saying because you clearly can't be arsed to understand!

I get it. 100%.
For me Hereford United died the moment Agombar and Lonsdale became involved. The zombie club that staggered on to general indifference for 6 months so was put out fits misery. I don’t dispute the suggestion that the fans allowed it to die as it didn’t have to have happened that way. There are a number of personalities connected in some way shape or form who could have saved it. Whatever, that’s been done to death but I can’t get past that.
I have followed Hereford FC since its reformation. I go to some games. I loved Hereford United, but I don’t want the name back. Quite the opposite.
It’s all irrelevant anyway. There’s already a generation of fans growing who will only have watched Hereford FC. Anyone who goes now who is 14 or so years old and under will have no recollection/connection with HUFC.

14 is pushing it a bit. We didn't waste that extra 30 minutes we were gifted. We had quite an in depth conversation about poo 😃.

Does being a junior HUST member allow you to vote?

On that basis if you're currently under 7? you will have no idea that your beloved HFC went to Wembley twice, so that means it never happened for anybody and can never be spoken of again (some would say a good thing). Hold on my nephew just shouted at me, he's 3 in late May. "What you mean HFC have played at Wembley"

And I remain intrigued to know whether the poo in question was a firm, roll-aboutable lump of poo or a more fluid product with the ability to flow. If you could find out for next time that'd be great.

The past is important and yes I would put my hand in my pocket to assist with this aim. But you have pretty much revealed your age. Which is likely similar to mine, give or take a year or three, as your memories of Edgar Street and players of the day are akin to my own. 😃

Stop 'kin moaning and get on with it. It is what it is. Its a football club that needs to move on. Luckily it seems at least some people are trying to do that. The past can't be changed. The future is all to play for.
