HEREFORD United manager Jon Taylor reckons the fans currently boycotting the club are not true supporters.

Huge numbers of Bulls fans stayed away from Edgar Street in protest when Tommy Agombar took over as majority shareholder and have maintained their stance since he relinquished that position.

Anger has continued amid the ongoing winding-up petition, which was adjourned for the seventh time earlier this week.

Crowds for their Southern League Premier Division games have plummeted to under 300, a stark contrast to the 2,445 that attended the final home fixture of last season, when the club was still in the Conference.

But boss Taylor reckons the fans either need to start turning up to matches or find another team to get behind.

“The club is where it is — either support the club or support someone else,” he said.

“People who sit behind tables on their computers are a disgrace.

“It is very discomforting and disconcerting that people supported the old regime, so why do they not support the new one?”

He continued: “They shouldn’t be worried about politics and the finances, they should be more worried about what is going on the football pitch.

“A lot of them stay back and totally slag everybody off, but they should either put up or shut up.”

Hereford United Supporters’ Trust have shown interest in taking over the club but believe the debts are too high and are keen to form a community-run phoenix club.

Trust vice-chairman Martin Watson said: “The average gate has dropped by 80 per cent in six months, so if he wants to call those 80 per cent a disgrace, then that’s up to him.”

Hereford, who visit St Neots Town today (3pm), have until December 1 to settle their debts and chairman Andy Lonsdale has claimed £1.5 million is about to be pumped into the club.

He said: “We expect to be able to announce a large investment into the club, along with the proposals for the redevelopment, very shortly.”
