Good Luck. I prefer badge 2

The spreadsheet which is done by a guy on the Tony Kempster /Non-league matters forum has Hereford coming in at step 6.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/163rQigkU0WPSVnsENhnFbiBiH54sRi_QY3PLOtz0MuQ/edit#gid=0

Now there is no reason to believe it is true or not, but it's an interesting expectation.

A Salisbury phoenix team also expected to enter at step 6 too.

The best part of that spreadsheet is seeing the rising team... Shaw Lane Aquaforce

Badge 3 was chosen, but due to embroidery purposes, it has been edited, also the 2015 has been removed, here is the final Version.

 

[Libertadores FC]

As much as I liked badge 2, this was probably going to be the best choice for you in the end!

 

[DarkSithLord]

Excellent Choice! It looks great.

 

[Quedgeley exile]

Hope this is the start if a successful revival

A really nice badge. Good luck!

Good luck to all folks. Scary to think we were losing to you, and seeing you get relegated, just two and a half years ago. Now the position we're in, I just hope we don't follow your path!

I'll be following .

Personally I'm always keen on badges with celebrity supporters featuring on them. In this case, Katie Hopkins.

Katie Hopkins is nowhere near as attractive as that bull!!!

The countdown is on!

 

[Dave-Vale]

I've always loved how smug the bull on your badge is.

Great choice. Prefer it to the old one.

Really looking forward to seeing what happens here. That 1st home game is going to be an emotional one.

What is happening about players?

I've been to around 18 games this season, and nothing can compare to watching your own club, the closest I've had of that feeling was being in the away end in the game between Coventry and Worcester.

As for players, there is a hope some of the youth team will sign, but depends on how good they are obviously, its been said they'll need to find localish players, I'd imagine Rob Purdie will probably sign for the club. We will see, its very early doors, need a manager first!

 

[ForeverUnited]

Season Tickets went on sale at 11:30 this morning, and we've already sold over 100.
149 sold at the end of the day!

 

[Crewelad87]

Best of luck Bulls, hope you can make it back up through the leagues quickly, it doesn't seem that long ago we played you in league 1. Also remember you bringing terrific support to Gresty Rd for a 1st game of the season one year which you won 1-0.

All the best Bulls.

 

[Techno Natch]

Yeah all the best Hereford hope to see you back In the leagues soon, keep us updated.

Be interesting to see where you get put.

I find the lease odd because I believe that the rules required a 10 year agreement to be in place, though if there is a clause to extend for a further 5 that might be good enough.

Good badge. You'll fly through whatever division you get put in with a good choice of manager with the funds you'll be able to generate. We've been pretty unlucky to run in to some well backed sides, but you'll probably generate at least 3x the income we have, meaning those sides might feel like it's more prudent to hold on to their cash for a season and go for it the next year.

I believe Chester also had a 5 year lease to their ground as well.
How are your attendances Jemfy, how many do you get?

Current season average is 502, though we have 4 remaining home games, none of them evening games, and chances to gain promotion and lift the title, so it might up a bit. I'd expect to see you in the 1500-2000 range, in your first season at least. No doubt playing at Edgar Street will help.

Edit: Also rules, and their application, change all the time. For instance you now cannot go in at step 4 like Chester did.

 

[AnthraxDaveHUFC]

Sorry for the bumpage....
Over 400 season tickets sold for next season, and we do not even know what league we will be in
I can't afford the £135 outright for an ST, but £8 seems a brilliant matchday price. To be honest, I would have been happy to pay £10.

Our lease has just been renewed for 50 years.

Probably helps that the local Council Leader is a Legend's Lounge Season Ticket holder.

Is edgar street still limited to a max of 1000 fans for matchdays?

There is currently safety tests being done at the minute, but it will be bought up to near 5,000 or however many it holds without one of the terraces.

Forever United. I believe that we budgeted for 1,100 in our first season at Step 4, but we achieved well over double that. Our crowds peaked at about 2,800 in season 2 when we had a monumental struggle with Northwich Vics in Evo Stik Prem. Crowds have steadily declined since to around 2,200 this season. I think you'll enjoy all these small towns and villages that have Step 5 teams. They'll love you too because you'll give them a massive pay day.

I wouldn't describe it as a monumental struggle between us and Northwich. We won the league by 17 points!

That was because in the final quarter of the season their off field problems started to bite them and yes we did win by a massive margin in the end, but they gave us a good run until it all went pear-shaped for them. The icing on the cake of course was when we won the league against them in front of 5,000 with that 1-1 draw.
