We asked Hereford FC club chairman, Stig, some of your burning questions and listened to his insights on how the club can compete on and off the pitch in the future.

Your hosts, Tom Gough and KD Rai, had the pleasure of interviewing Stig in the off-season ahead of the 2025/26 campaign. Stig looked back at his last two seasons at the club including the progress of Hereford FC Women and the U18’s team, before addressing topics like the timing of the release of Season Tickets, the Blackfriars End and going cashless at Edgar Street.

Stig gave us his opinions on the 3UP Campaign, which many fans are in favour of, giving 3 promotion and 3 relegation spots to teams in the National League. Also a hot topic - Stig gave us some insight into what it would take for the club to go hybrid in the future and how we compete with other clubs in the National League North division.

10 more years for Paul Caddis was put to him, but we didn’t get a concrete answer. Maybe 9-years will suffice for now?

The views stated in this podcast do not represent those of Hereford FC. These are just the views of people with far too much time on their hands, clearly.

Reg Reynolds of Hereford Away Days fame joins KD and Tom to review the season.

They talk first about how Reg became a fan, his memories growing up watching the bulls and some of his favourite games over the years. The boys also speak about how Away Days came to be as well as some of the challenges that he faces in organising the trips. Toby Carvery deservedly gets a mention!

Then the review. At time of recording, it was only a matter of days after Hereford were denied a place in the playoffs by Scunthorpe. They all talk about individual games, the players and of course the gaffer Paul Caddis.

The talk of going hybrid or full time is never far away and how it might work and whether it actually would. Are Hereford ready to go up? Maybe next season?

We all live in hope!! Come on you whites!!

Tom without KD is like Paul without Barry or Ant without Dec. It’s just not right, but in this episode it’s happening! Tom is joined by Hereford fan Guy Cooke.

Guy talks about his upbringing, his dad who played such an important role at Hereford United and in Guy becoming a Hereford fan.

They look at the season, which now culminates in the final four massive games. As well as looking at those, Tom and Guy also assess Hereford’s recent form and Paul Caddis’ 100 games as manager.

Don’t forget to buy a raffle ticket to win a signed Caddis T-shirt with all profits going to Diabetes UK. A charity close to Paul’s heart after his daughter’s diagnosis.

This was recorded before the games on Tuesday 18th March which is one reason why their views seem outdated…

Join KD and Tom as they chat about the whites. Recent form following what was a brilliant February. They discuss what they see as the issues including the absence of Sammy Robinson. Looking back and looking forward, giving their predictions for the next few games.

Shout out to Simon Wright, who is stepping down from Talking Bull duties amongst other things to be his usual optimistic self at Halesowen Town a little closer to home. Get your articles in by the 28th March!

Our best wishes go out to former Hereford United player, Chris Bush who collapsed recently, hope for a speedy recovery 🙏

The views stated in this podcast do not represent those of Hereford FC. They are just the views of people with far too much time on their hands, clearly.

Part 2 of our interview with Hereford United and FC legend, Rob Purdie.

In this second and final part we talk about Rob leaving for Shrewsbury and coming back to lose to Hereford in the cup alongside Graham Turner. Then the painful last season of Hereford United, starting with Martin Foyle and ending with Peter Beadle and staying up at Aldershot.

We talk about the difficult demise of our club and of course, the end. Rob talks through his time at United in the community under Agombar and Lonsdale.

We then move on to the rising of the Phoenix, Hereford FC, that fantastic first season with the players, the team and the manager.

Before we talk Wembley! Fake tan, nervous energy and a goal after 85 seconds. Rob talks about his disappointment at not winning that game before moving on to his final seasons, the fire service and just how much Hereford itself but the club (HUFC/HFC) meant to him. It gets a bit emotional!

Thanks to Rob for his time and amazing stories and insight. Thanks also to Jamie Griffiths at Hereford FC for allowing us to use the space and being so accommodating. What a club we have!
