Bulls On-line Supporters Association

In 2002, on-line supporters of Hereford United Football Club formed an internet-based organisation to help boost the profile and finances of the cash-strapped club. The original committee were elected from active users of the forum on the official Hereford United website which has more than 600 registered users. As familiarity with the web has increased, United supporters have produced a number of websites dicussing all aspects of the club.

Bulls On-Line Supporters Association (BOLSA) main focus is on fund-raising and increasing the club's profile both locally and internationally.

The growing strength of the official Hereford United website is evident in that it has helped to raise more than £5,000 - in shirt auctions and sponsorship - for the club over the past 12 months. The popular Save The Bulls Fund, now to become the official club lottery, derived from a suggestion on the club's website. Participation is based on a donation by standing order and participants are entered into a monthly draw.

With their focus primarily on fund-raising, BOLSA stress they are not a rival organisation to the existing Hereford United Independent Supporters' Association and have drawn up a mission statement and set up a constitution. Proper membership records and a bank account are now in place. Although BOLSA was formed on the Internet, membership is not restricted to those with Internet access. Membership forms are available by e-mail and from BOLSA, c/o MWPC, Unit 4, 7 Canal Road, Hereford, HR1 2EA.

Current fund-raising schemes are listed on the Merchandise and Fund Raising pages. BOLSA is happy to put your fund-raising ideas into action to help the club. Once again, you can contact us by e-mail.
