VPs Want Say On Club Takeover

The football club met the Vice Presidents members tonight - and were left in no doubt that the membership wanted their say on whether the proposed 'takeover' goes ahead.

Addressing a surprisingly large number of members, far more than the average AGM, Graham Turner outlined the club's reasons behind their announcement last month. He went into much more detail than had been previously released in hoping that a committee would remain in place, but that the bar and ticketing would be taken over by the club.

One vocal member, who had been with the VP club since it's formation 38 years ago, suggested the 'takeover' would be illegal without membership approval under the terms of it's constitution, and that the club had no reason to take away the independence of an organisation that had, he believed, contributed £2million in today's money over the course of it's history to Hereford United.

While the football club appears to have already had a revision - or at least a detailed clarification - of their originally stated plans for the VP Club, from the original letter that aroused much complaint amongst members, they will have to face next month's AGM with the membership seemingly intent on voting on their proposals for the future.
