Hereford are facing a winding up petition in the high court on the 7th April over an unpaid tax bill of £78,000 and recorded a loss for the year up to April 2013 of £499,000. I do not understand how a club can lose this sort of money, must have been way over spending.

Think that there should be a salary cap in this league to stop clubs like Luton and Forest Green paying over the top wages.

Aren't we meant to be playing Hereford the day after this, if there is no game we should receive compensation from the League as we will have suffered a loss of income and other teams will have had 23 games and us only 22 which would not be fair

 Does not look like we are going to feature on BT Sport also, the choice of games favours the so called big clubs ensuring this league is an unfair competition.

WUSA should lodge an official complaint to the Conference Management Board and state that unless we are compensated for not being televised that we will refer the matter to the EU Commission under competition law.

The TV money should be split evenly amongst the 24 teams and not allocated on the basis if you feature, this is unfair and open to abuse as to who the people at BT like, they should never be allowed in our stadium after the way they have treated us this season!!

What has BT Sports choice of games got to do with WUSA?

I thought that WUSA represented supporters, I paid my £10 and think that if we are not featured on BT Sport this season we should make an official complaint to the Conference Board as only us and Nuneaton have not been featured, maybe also Alfreton amazingly given their league position.

It has nothing to do with WUSA I agree, but there is the argument that WUSA are trying to raise money for the club, and this is a good source of doing so if successful. Will raise 10 times the takings of the club shop in one hit.

I've a mate in Hereford and remember reading a few years ago that Hereford were losing a 6 figure sum every year. They must have very understanding creditors.
