Hereford is one of the most underrated places in England from an architectural point of view. You have the cathedral and its precincts of course, but also such a wealth of buildings in that lovely solid West of England style that people (rightly) find so charming in Oxford. The city in general hasn't really recovered from the end of the Cold War and the loss of all that spending money from senior military and Secret State employees, of course, and things have not been helped by a council that doesn't even pretend to care about the place, but it still has a lot going for it.
Sadly, Hereford United went bankrupt in December 2014. This was as a result of years of financial mismanagement from 2010, before being bought by a convicted criminal who wanted to knock down the stadium for £'s and build houses on it.
(It was an absolute shocking few years)
And the rumour at the time was that his plan was that if that didn't work out, then he'd use the stadium for fly-tipping as he had done with some smaller clubs he had previously acquired in and around the west London suburbs.
