Because there's such a heavy representation at that sixth tier from London/South East clubs.  

Not always as cut and shut as this but the 24 most Northern Teams form the Conference North, 24 most Southern form the South.

Ultimately, Hereford are in the 24 most Northern teams in the sixth tier.  In fact they're not even the most southern team in the Conference North, that's Gloucester.

Quoted from diehardmariner
Just because of the protocols we have to have in place now for training, even more so after our heavy wrist slap last week, I can't imagine we're allowing someone to train with us just as a favour.

Be it with a view to signing or as a potential player, I think is probably an avenue Hurst is exploring.

The last 5 years of his C.V don't look great at all.  But as is always rolled out whenever Hurst signs someone that raises questions, neither did Jon Nolan's.


I remember being less than overwhelmed when we signed an old bloke from Halifax reserves but Paul Futcher did ok........

Although I agree, I think we used the Futch example literally every time we are linked with or sign an unfancied veteran. I think it only highlights what a gem of a player he was.

Not many years ago Bishop’s Stortford (Herts) were in the Conference North.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Yep, I agree but we've had others who have come here at the end of their careers and done a great job - Whymark, Sherwood, Gary Jones and even Matt Tees the second time.

I'm an optimist - we must be due to sign someone who will go on to be a Town legend at some point. And Fenty won't be here to tell them to f*ck off when they have the audacity to ask for a pay rise.

Danny Collins is a more recent example of a decent veteran player?

Surely the best one we've had for a while?!!

And bizarrely Gloucester city were in the conference north, yet Worcester city (or maybe Kidderminster) were in the conference south 🤷🏻
