Hereford Voice Posted June 22 Report Posted June 22 Sad News As Hereford Lads Club FC Pull Out Of Hellenic League Premier Division And Hereford Leagues With Immediate Effect πππ¨π π¦π§ππ§ππ ππ‘π§ "It is with deep disappointment that we wish to inform you that the Hereford Lads Club 1st Team, Lads Club Reserves and Lads Club Colts will be pulling out of the Hellenic League Premier Division and Herefordshire Leagues with immediate effect. Following years, and in the case of many of us, decades of hard work, we are disappointed to find ourselves in the position that we find ourselves in. Lads Club committee feel there is no place for senior football for these teams. Over the past 10 years, weβve progressed from the Herefordshire leagues, to Step Five and the Hellenic League Premier Division. Weβve progressed as a team, but unfortunately a number of decisions made by the Club, itβs Chairman and Trustees, mean that we are no longer in a position where we can continue. The budget offered by the club for the forthcoming season is around half of what we believe would even give us a chance of remaining in this division, plus with other local clubs showing ambition and working at getting extra sponsorship to remain sustainable, the lack of effort from those above us at the club mean that we are fighting a tougher battle every week. Weβd like to thank all the players who have played for us over the years, many of them without getting paid. Whether itβs promotions, the County Cup winning season or cup runs, we have plenty of memories to take away from this memorable spell at the club. Weβd also like to thank those people who supported us over the years, whether it be by attending fixtures or through sponsorship. Itβs meant a lot to us and we canβt thank you enough. Itβs been an incredibly difficult decision to make, but we only wish the club couldβve matched our ambition for a stable, competitive club in Step Five. More information in the next few days of thanks and moments in our history will be posted. Thank you for the memories. Daniel Moon, John Haycox and Stephen Ellerton" Hereford Voice - This is such sad news, thank you for all that you have done for the club. Quote
