Very sad and makes you think it could have been us, I hope it’s resolved for the sake of the fans and the community.

Very sad indeed.So much history. It could very easily have been my team too.Good luck to them.

i wish them all the best, i remember when they used to be a league two team. i hope they manage to find a takeover and get their season back on track, there might be time or a few games might need pushing back if a owner can be found.

if not, then i guess forfeiting the season and relegation is going to happen.

[NottsTastic]

Is this because of COVID? Many teams are having a hard time. Could they not just use volunteers to play?

@liampie That's Hereford United, mate.

I hope they don’t suffer too much. Relegation is already difficult enough and it will take time for them to recover when their resources are drained.

[DangerousSausage]

That's awful news, I remember them playing in what's now the National League.

I hope they sort themselves out. King's Lynn also resigned from the Northern Premier League on the eve of the season a few years back (before they were Town) and they've gone from strength to strength since, so it can be done.

On the positive side, they should return stronger. A season is enough time for someone to step up. At that level, a local person should have enough money to help them recover.

We know to well that sometimes it's better to go backwards to come forwards

It's truly a shame that Hednesford Town have had to abandon the 23/24 season. Is there really nothing that can be done to salvage the situation? It sounds absolutely dreadful for the team, fans, and the community as a whole.

It's really sad to hear that they're going through a tough time, but I hope they can sort things out before it gets too serious. Even still, it's a shame, but at least it gives them some time to try and turn things around.

Dover made a fortunate decision when they backed out of fulfilling their National League matches. The situation was regrettable.

I wish Hednesford Town all the best, I hope they managed to resolve their issues and find investment to continue their journey. Less local people are buying into clubs, most are fans, and we know how that works out usually.

It's absolutely disheartening to witness the current predicament of the club, which has long been an integral part of our community. The unfortunate financial situation and the quest for a capable new owner have undoubtedly cast a cloud of uncertainty over the future of this beloved institution. In the run-up to the next season, I fervently hope that they are able to secure the necessary resources and identify a dedicated and passionate owner who can effectively steer them through this challenging period. The loyalty and resilience of the fans will certainly provide the bedrock of support that is essential to overcome such trials and guide the club towards past glories. Wishing them all the best!

Hednesford Town needs a lifeline to survive. It’s hard to see how they’ll attract an owner with the money to do anything more than keep them afloat. That owner will need fairly deep pockets just to do that.
