    Help Hererford United need your help

    Hereford United need your help!

    HUFC are in serious financial trouble, they need to raise £8000 by Monday. Over the past 10 days people from all over the country have donated to keep the club afloat. The comedian and actor Omid Djalili has kindly agreed to preform two benefit shows t help raise money. Heineken UK (the owner of the Hereford based Bulmers brand) have today pledged £10,000.

    If anybody can help by donating a few quid to my hometown's team it would be greatly appreciated.

    If your in any doubt that you should, then watch this video paying particular attention to 09:12 when you will see possibly one of the greatest goals in an FA Cup game, and 12:56!

    Fuck 'em.
    Ronnie Radford, et al.
    John Motson's career started on the back of that result, and for that I will never forgive them.

    Erm no, they have to raise £78,000. The donation from Heineken still leaves them £10k short.

    OK... only watched one minute of the video and noticed a few things..

    1. Blatant pass back and no yellow card.
    2. Some serious pushing/shoving/elbowing going on in the box. Not one guy goes down holding his face and the referee did not send anyone off. Do they not know how to play?
    3. Guy Martin used to play for Newcastle! He is like the Highlander, has not aged.
    4. Newcastle had a player on loan from Luton!?!
    5. The pitch is in good condition.

    Ah.. the good old days of proper footy.
    We all make mistakes sometimes

    Erm...your OP says they need £8000, no mention of £78k or being £10k short after a £10k donation.

    How sad that club's like this and others with a great history in English football are on the verge of extinction, when certain premiership clubs and players are absolutely rolling in money and could probably save Hereford with a few hours of their wage, makes my piss boil greedy feckers

    Surely lottery money should be spent on helping clubs like this out. plus wouldn't it be good press if the likes of rooney and the likes chip in a hours wage to help out.

    So I shouldn't have pointed it out then?
    Pretty important fact in the OP that's wrong.

    No matter anyway, hope they manage it, never good for a club to go under no matter how small.

    Do they really need £80k to play football anyway? How much does a football cost, about a tenner? If they can't afford the kit then they can play in vests and pants.
