From The Archives - Keeping Hereford Afloat

Just like today, back in March 1999, the Bulls didn't have much money.

March 25 1999:

CASH-strapped Hereford United have been given a financial boost from director Mike Hancocks and an anonymous vice-president of the Nationwide Conference club reports the Birmingham Post.

Both Hancocks and the vice-president are to donate £200 a point to help the cash flow problems at Edgar Street.

The scheme started off with a bonus of £600 when Hereford beat Barrow 3-0 on Saturday but floundered on Tuesday when the Bulls went down 1-0 to Woking.

"With seven games left and if we can persuade other directors and vice-presidents to join in it could be a valuable source of revenue," said Hancocks.
