Moves towards ending Watson Ban

More discussions over the ban on forum moderator Martin Watson have taken place this morning at Hereford United.

HUISA chairman Keith Dodds has been in talks with both chairman Graham Turner and Watson and it is hoped that there will be announcment about the ban from the club tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile Watson has issued a further statement which is reprinted here in full.

I fully accept responsibility for the Independent Hereford United Forum. I regret the comments made in a posting by “loveibull” against Joan Fennessey. They were totally unacceptable and I apologise again for the anguish and distress that they have caused.

I also regret requesting people to contact the media given the way this matter has spiralled out of control. The negative publicity has done the club I love a great deal of harm.

Having accepted responsibility I hope that the differences with the club can now be resolved and that I can continue to support the club.

I must thank Keith Dodd for his work over the past week. Keith has taken a great deal of abuse over the past week and is, like so many others, just an unpaid volunteer that has the best interests of the club at heart. So many people have been damaged by the actions of the anonymous poster “loveibull” that now chooses to hide like a coward while the innocent people suffer.

Martin Watson.
