June 2: Winding Up petition submitted by former manager Martin Foyle in London's High Court for first time and is adjourned until later in the month.
June 30: Club given seven day adjournment. London Bulls supporters group leads calls for a boycott of games.
July 7: Court grants a three week adjournment. In the same week, 95% of HUST (Hereford United Supporters Trust) members vote in favour of a club boycott, which remains in force today.
July 28: The case is adjourned for five weeks as United draw up a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) which would see creditors paid 100 pence in the pound over a three-year period. The proposal was rejected by a majority of creditors three weeks later.
September 1: A seven day adjournment is granted at the request of Foyle's solicitor with the court hearing Foyle and Porter had received a part-payment towards their outstanding money.
September 8: A further stay of execution is secured as club chairman Andy Lonsdale says he has personally paid the settlement to Foyle and Porter.
Lonsdale says: "We are finding it difficult to get sponsorship with a winding up petition hanging over the club and people being unsure of the future of the club."
HMRC, who at the time were owed more than £115,000, take over the winding up petition from them.
October 20: United are granted another six-week adjournment when £1.5 million is reportedly set to be ploughed into the club.
December 1: The winding up hearing is again adjourned, this time for two weeks, as Lonsdale himself says he will raise £1 million to pay off creditors. Two would-be investors pull out on the morning of the High Court hearing, the second being Essex-based Newell Properties Developments Ltd, whose interest lasts less than an hour.
