I would have thought that this would have generated more interest in the game? Well done Bulls supporters - a great way to get your message across on behalf of players and staff.  I would hope that our supporters would do the same if the Wings had problems like this. Some of us did our bit when our club had financial problems, but what other options do supporters have when their financially stricken club is faced with being wound-up and then taken over?  It is not their fault, and Hereford's plight is certainly not the fault of its fans. It is time supporters did assert themselves more in these situations by holding demonstrations, boycotts and picketing - good luck to them in their bit of direct action and well done to Harriers' supporters for their solidarity. 

It is not their fault, and Hereford's plight is certainly not the fault of its fans.

I agree but not our fault, Kidderminster's, BT Sport's or the Conference's either. Imagine 100 Welling fans protesting at a Dartford match? I bet Kidderminster and the police are only allowing it so they can police it. It's all about publicity but I can't see what that's going to achieve. I doubt the high court will take it into account. Protest at the FA HQ, council, high courts where the decisions are made  - but at a neutral game?

Interesting that on "Harriers Online" almost every Kiddy fan that has posted is in favour of the idea and welcomes the Bulls' fans - one has even suggested giving the Hereford fans a standing ovation.

Does anyone know whether Welling receive a portion of the gate money?  If so we should benefit too as the Hereford fans are likely to swell the numbers for what would otherwise be a lower than average  Kiddy gate attending a Tuesday night game being shown live on TV.  I would think the last thing the Bulls' fans would want to do is to cause any trouble when live on the telly, surely that would be counter-productive to the object of them going to the match.

I remember we organised a collection for them when we played them played them last season.  Perhaps they will assist what's likely to be our small number of supporters by cheering us on!

 I do

It's a league game, not cup

More to the point, 2000 Hereford turn up early, take over the away end and then the 20 or 30 of us can't get in. What precautions are being taken against that (and how do you tell I'm Hereford or Welling if I really want to get in unless I tell you, if they are three way segregating?)

Or go in the Kidderminster end, which defeats part of the object

I do find it mildly amusing that there seems the supposition that we have never had issues surrounding our ownership and therefore can't understand. Granted we have never had an outright charlatan involved but I don't think anyone could fairly say (including the owners if under oath!) that everything has been whiter than white and a smooth road even if, to the outside world, things seem to have improved a bit lately.

Have to say I think it's very bad form from Kidderminster not to at least inform our Supporters Association that all this will be going on.

 Really why inform the Supporters Association ? Surely if anyone it would be the club that is contacted

 I assume they have told the club. It's not the club who are going to be crowded out of the directors box/dugout/pitch, because they are letting Hereford supporters take over those areas, is it? A common courtesy to the supporters, I would have thought.

Of which we were not one, I'd hazard a guess.

Unlike yourselves we have not had a live TV game previously. I know it wasn't live but would your folklore be quite the same had 2000 opportunistic Accrington Stanley supporters turned up for your game against Newcastle in 1972. I suspect it may have led to a somewhat different atmosphere.

Answer this one. If you are all boycotting Hereford United FC and the current owner has no intent of doing anything the logical end game is that Hereford United FC will more than likely fold, therefore requiring a phoenix club. Presumably you are expecting him to blink before then, otherwise you are mainly delaying the road back by not forming an alternative already. If he does blink, can't see it would be debt free or that he'd make you a particularly attractive offer if he is not forking out his own cash in the interim. Don't see an end game where you win.
