we ARE punching above our weight, of that there is no doubt. But like you say, it is what all football fans dream about - even fans of the fifth biggest club (and downwards) dream about holding their own in the champions league, UEFA Cup, Premier League, Championship etc. We are living proof that with the right ambition and drive and passion you can make things happen. Take away our away travelling crowd and you're right, our home attendances are abysmal, still not cutting it in the Conference if truth be known. BUt yet we are not down yet? We may well survive this year and then hopefully next season, if we have more luck with injuries and manage to keep hold of a player or two, we may manage to hold onto mid-table - just like Hereford are trying to do.

I read with interest on your own Bulls hite I mean site, that the average crowd in the league is 3900 + but yet your average crowd is around 3300, therefore the sums, as done by one of your fans, are that you are 700 fans x £13 x 23 games equals £209 300 SHORT of being an average team. And you, the self-proclaimed sleeping giant of football were applauding that whilst berating only making a profit of £8k last season, including money from sky and the FA for the play-offs!

Now do those sums again but for us with an average crowd of around 2200 gives you 508 thousand pound short of the league average gate income! The whole of football, whether they like our manager or not, should be using us as a shining example of how to balance the books, of how to maintain a shoe string business whilst still improving year on year, whilst somehow still managing to bring in players of sufficient (just) quality to carry some kind of threat in this league. Our tinpot outfit are only eight (?) points behind your lot with a turnover of approx 75% LESS than what you claim you had last year.

You still wanna convince me that all is rosy in the land of tractors?

I dont know what the population is around Herefordshire, or quite how far away your nearest footballing rival is, but if the truth be known there is absolutley no reason on earth why we should be within eight points of a superpower like yourselves. Either we are doing exceptionally well or you are doing exceptionally poorly. Go on, say it I dare you!
