No incentive yet to play in Conference Cup

The Conference Cup, recently renamed the GLS Cup, remains a cup with little incentive to progress in.



Although Hereford United are through to the fourth round, they have not received any prize money for defeating Burton. The Bulls have to wait until next week to know whether they will face Northwich or Leigh who play their third round tie next week.



The Conference told Bulls News yesterday that because of the change of sponsor details are yet to be finalised.



"With the change in sponsor it (prize money) has to be confirmed at the Half Yearly

meeting which is the end of this month," said a Conference spokesperson.



It seems lax that the Conference only meet twice a year to discuss matters such as sponsorship of their new Cup competition.



No wonder some Hereford United supporters think that this extra competition is one cup too many.
