Hereford Voice Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Herefordshire Council and Hereford Football Club confirm agreement that secures the Bullsβ future at Edgar Street Paul Walker, Chief Executive Herefordshire Council, Chris Ammonds, Chairman Hereford FC and Councillor Harry Bramer at Edgar Street Stadium Herefordshire Council and Hereford FC have today (Saturday 20 April) confirmed that a deal has been agreed that will see the club remain at the iconic Edgar Street stadium until 2070. The new agreement secures Hereford FCβs home in the city and provides vital security as the club seeks to continue its development on and off the field. In addition to agreeing a long-term lease for the club to remain at Edgar Street, the council is also exploring options for the wider development of the Blackfriars End, working closely with Bullsβ officials so Edgar Street once again becomes a four-sided stadium as part of the project. Work will begin at the Blackfriars End this summer with the demolition of the old stand. Councillor Harry Bramer, cabinet member community services and assets, said: βHereford FC and the Edgar Street ground are an integral part of life in our city, and an asset to the whole county. Weβre delighted to have this arrangement in place and are looking forward to working in partnership with the football club on future developments at Edgar Streetβ Hereford FC Chairman, Chris Ammonds, said: βThis is a huge moment for Hereford FC as it secures our long-term future at Edgar Street. I am thrilled we can make this announcement jointly with Herefordshire Council today and am very excited to see what the future holds once the Blackfriars End has been demolished this summer. On behalf of all Bulls fans and everyone at the club, I would like to sincerely thank Councillor Bramer and his colleagues at the council for the willingness they have shown to work with us and reach this agreement. Iβd also like to thank Phil Pratt from Alder King for the support he has provided to the club in our discussions regarding a new lease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
