HEREFORD United have responded to an FA charge against them.

The Bulls were given until 4pm yesterday to pay £500 after being charged by the Football Association in relation to their obligations under the owners' and directors' test.

An FA spokesperson said: "They have responded by the deadline.

"It is now with us to consider their response."

Majority shareholder Alan McCarthy was also fined £500 and given the same deadline to respond.

Asked by the Hereford Times whether he had also responded to the charge the spokesperson said they had received a "collective response".
