HEREFORD United owed money to around 900 creditors, the Insolvency Service have said.

Bristol-based Mitzi Mace are the official receiver and liquidator dealing with the former club.

Ninety years of football at Edgar Street came to an end just before Christmas when cash-strapped United were wound up at the Royal Courts of Justice over unpaid debts.

Owner and chairman Andy Lonsdale had promised to invest £1 million into Hereford United but he did not arrive at the hearing, claiming he was stuck in traffic.

Ade Daramy, Insolvency Service media manager, said the company had about 900 creditors.

"A notice will be going out for a meeting of creditors," said Daramy.

"Some assets - mainly chairs and tables - have been recovered but they are not likely to generate much.

“At this stage, it does not appear there is much that can be auctioned.”

"There are a few sports equipment and memorabilia that may interest some fans, but there is nothing of substantial value.

"They didn't own any of the buildings because they were leased."

He added the directors of the limited company have been contacted and will have to provide individual statements of what led to the company's liquidation and other related matters, as required by law.

"Once that has been done, we can issue more up to date details," he said.

Daramy also confirmed that, after the Insolvency Service's investigations had been completed, the limited company would be dissolved and deleted from Companys House's register.
