If you recall 1962, the Football League under Alan Hardaker gave Stanley no second chance, and refused to rescind the letter of resignation when some, including Mr.Cocker the chairman, sought to salvage the club.
Let's hope for Hereford's fans that this latest setback sends the spivs and wanna-be owners running, and that, in the end, it allows the club to be reclaimed by and for its fans.

Whilst I agree with the sentiment of what happened to Stanley in 1962, my argument is that the Conference bods gave HUFC 3 chances to abide by the rules, how many times do people get 3 chances? It showed weakness. However, I also agree, as others have said, HUFC go out of the Conference for less than 200K yet QPR get promoted with a 60 million debt. I do hope HUFC do what Chester FC and ourselves have done and come back better and stronger for the experience. We can only thank Ilyas for saving us in our hour of need a few years ago.Otherwise, where would Stanley be now?
