HUISA (Hereford United Independent Supporters Association) recently held a fans forum.

Manager Graham Turner revealed that he only had £40,000 left in the annual salary budget for players.

The current agreed squad is: DeBont, Mackenzie (non-Contract), Norts, Matthewson, Brough, Fishlock, Pitman, Mahon, McGorry, Ian Foster, Jordan, Agana plus Cook and Warner.

The youth team was costing £70 to 80K per season and was committed for this season.

An open day will be held on Sunday 3rd August. The new away shirt (a red/black quartered design), will hopefully be available for sale on the day, as will a new range of T-shirts, proclaiming amongst other things that the Bulls are only on temporary loan to the Conference.

Ian Foster was the hero for the Bulls in this pre-season friendly. He scored three and created a fourth for Neil Grayson. It could have been five but for a missed penalty by Grayson.
