Hereford United are still awaiting gate receipts and expenses from last month's trip to Swindon Town in the second round of the FA Cup.

The cash-strapped Bulls have asked the Football Association to intervene following the Wiltshire club's failure to make the payment - estimated to be about £20,000 - within 14 days of the match.

Hereford chairman Graham Turner, director of football, said: "It's common knowledge that we have had difficulty in running the club and, despite our cash-flow problems, we managed to give Wrexham their cup money on time."

But Swindon Town director Bob Holt said that the money would be paid to Hereford in 'due course' and added that a cheque was posted to Edgar Street on December 28 - and later cancelled when it failed to arrive.

Holt added: "We sent two cheques - one to Hartlepool and one to Hereford - but Hereford did not get theirs. And when the cheque didn't arrive we decided to cancel it.

"We have also had a query from Hereford about the turnstile turnover which we will be sorting out.

"The present board at Swindon only took over the day before the Hereford match. But, having said that, we are not making excuses."

Second Division Swindon are reported to have debts of about £10 million and owe the Inland Revenue in the region of £700,000.

Turner said: "We know that Swindon have got immense problems financially, but we are entitled to the gate receipts and expenses from our FA Cup tie, which will be almost £20,000.

"We have contacted the FA, who are now on the case, but there is nothing more that we can do about it."
