HEREFORD United's new owner Andy Lonsdale expect to see the club's suspension from all football activity will be lifted either later today or tomorrow.
The Bulls were hit with the ban from the Football Association ater failing to adhere to the obligations of an Independent Regulatory Commission.
In a statement, the FA said: “Following consideration of a document submitted by the club, the Independent Regulatory Commission gave the parties until 4pm on Monday 8 December 2014 to submit further documentation to satisfy the orders of the Commission.
"Having failed to provide the requested further documentation by the deadline, both Hereford United and Mr McCarthy shall remain suspended until such time as the order of the Independent Regulatory Commission has been complied with to the satisfaction of the Commission.”
The FA has pledged to work with “all relevant parties” to ensure senior football returns to Hereford at the earliest opportunity, although this will be contingent on the club complying with the Regulations and subsequent orders of the Independent Regulatory Commission.
Lonsdale says the paperwork was not initially filed correctly, but the FA is now in receipt of all documentation.
He added he expects the suspension to be lifted later this afternoon or tomorrow and is fully confident that this Saturday's away game at Dunstable Town will go ahead.
