FA suspends Hereford United 'from all football activity'
The club have "failed to comply" with a deadline to answer questions posed by the Independent Regulatory Commission's owners' and directors' test.
Having initially submitted documents, they were requested to send "further documentation" by Monday.
But they failed to meet that deadline, which also results in the suspension of majority shareholder Alan McCarthy.
Bulls chairman Andy Lonsdale told BBC Hereford & Worcester on Wednesday that he has taken over as majority shareholder at Edgar Street.
He has confirmed that the club's previous owners - Alpha Choice Finance - have transferred their majority shareholding to Lonsdale, who has promised a million-pound investment in the club.
"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," an FA statement read.
"The FA understands the importance of football clubs to their local communities and will continue to work with all relevant parties to ensure senior football returns to Hereford at the earliest opportunity."
Hereford, relegated from the Football League in 2012 before being expelled from the Conference in June following non-payment of debts, stand 15th in the Southern League Premier Division. They are due to visit Dunstable Town on Saturday.
The club are expected to return to the Royal Courts of Justice on Monday, 15 December to contest their winding-up order. The hearing has already been adjourned eight times since June.

First they lost the racecourse. Now it could be the football Club.
Only thing left to go there for will be the Cathedral. And the sheep and cows of course.0 -

Suspended on the grounds of not responding to questions by a deadline. Wonder if the FA would do the same to Chelsea if Abramovic was a bit slow to answer questions about where he got his money.8

Bugger, moving to the area next week. Nearest racecourse is Ludlow, so not too much of a trip.0

Shame. I remember Richie Bowman scoring in our 2-0 win in either 73 or 74.
We also went to the last game there in 09. We got lost on the Gloucester one way system on the way home.
Round & round & round ;-(0 -
Went to the 1.1 draw at The Valley in 76-77. Friday night game, they were bottom of the league I think and heading for relegation but we could only manage a draw. Loved Friday night games back then. Forest , West Brom and Southampton to name a few classics.1

Went to the 1-0 win at Edgar Street in 1989. The home fans chanted 'At least we own the corner flags' on one occasion. Certainly, a step up from 'What's it like to have no ground'.1

I went with ooh ahh, MCS' s brother and a couple of others by car. Went to a nice old pub but we were only in there for 5 minutes before it all kicked off. Went for a curry after the game and bought 2 bottles of mateus for the journey home. Stopped at services somewhere and was rolling a joint when a police car appeared from nowhere. Shat myself but they were just checking for people sleeping in the car park overnight.thai malaysia addick said:Went to the 1-0 win at Edgar Street in 1989.

Worrying times for a club with a great history.....yet again a small club is crushed by the FA when their Premiership Clubs get away with murder. A complete joke......0

Work with the previous owner's son.
We were discussing the absurdity that if one Premiership player donated 3 weeks wages, all problems would be sorted.
Or if each club donated the change from the back of their sponsorship room sofa, the same would happen. Christ they wouldn't even notice it!

Wayne Rooney (extension £300,000
Yaya Toure £240,000

From memory directly after the Roonie Radford goal, the mighty Darts went down their in the FA trophy and won 1 nil, wonder if you know who the goal scorer was for Dartford?0

Classic quote from the FA - "The FA understands the importance of football clubs to their local community".
Yeah, that's why it lets its bastard child, the PL, to piss on most of them.3 -
Obviously stump you with my stupid question, the answer was Derek (killer) Hales, later to become the hero of the valley.2
