History

Hereford FC were born out of the ashes of Hereford United, a club with a proud history that included the FA Cup giant killers run of 1972 and reaching the third-tier of English football on a number of occasions. Sadly off-the-field issues led to them folding in December 2014.

The new club were placed into the Midland Football League for the 2015/16 season. They were able to play from the historic and characterful Edgar Street, kept The Bulls nickname and were resplendent in white shirts and black shorts.

That first season saw the club break a string of attendance records on their way to a League and Cup double. They also secured the Herefordshire FA County Challenge Cup before finishing off the campaign by taking 21,000 supporters to Wembley for the FA Vase final.

Building on the momentum, The Bulls raced to the Southern League South & West title at the end of the following season with an impressive 107 points. The Herefordshire FA County Challenge Cup was also retained as well as beating the winners of the Southern League Central Division, Royston Town, in an end of season ‘Champions v Champions’ clash.

A hat-trick of promotions was completed in 2017/18 as the Southern League Premier title was secured with three games to spare, as they accumulated another 113 points to take our place within The National League set-up. It was also during this campaign that the club enjoyed its best run in the FA Cup since reforming.

Having beaten AFC Telford United in the first round proper, League One outfit, Fleetwood Town, were next up and having played out a 1-1 away draw, the live BT Sport cameras descended on Edgar Street for the replay. A massive effort to clear snow from the pitch by supporters and volunteers ensured the tie went ahead but it ended in defeat, however, the club were back on the football map.

It was a tough introduction to life in The National League North with a couple of finishes in the lower half of the table as a number of managers came and went in the wake of Peter Beadle’s departure.

The 2020/21 was brought to a premature end after just 13 games due to the pandemic, of which The Bulls had won five. The FA competitions continued, however, and it was in the FA Trophy that the club progressed all the way to the final at Wembley where we lost to Hornchurch.

There was improvement in the club’s League position in the 2021/22 season with a mid-table berth and the hope that foundations had been laid to embark up a challenge in the top half of the table thereafter.

The first half of the 2022/23 campaign saw a memorable run to the first round proper of the FA Cup where the live BBC TV cameras covered our clash with Portsmouth, a tie that was played just days after the sad passing of Hereford United and FA Cup legend, Ronnie Radford, whose spirit will forever remain at Edgar Street.
