- Standing room only as supporters hear the proposal.
- Thirty people, including Gareth Davies, are turned away due to no more room being available.
- The group is fronted by Jon Hale, a Malvern-based businessman and life-long Hereford United supporter.

- Meetings have been held with Herefordshire Council regarding Hereford FC becoming the new tenant of Edgar Street.

- No one will be allowed to watch matches for free.
- The club will wear white next season, with the Hereford Bull emblazoned on it. A competition will be held to determine the colour of the away shirt and what the badge will look like.
