Hereford United footballing ban lifted

Hereford United's suspension from all football activity is lifted by the Football Association a day after the ban came into force.

Hereford United's suspension from all football activity has been lifted by the Football Association.

The Bulls incurred the ban on Wednesday after missing a deadline to supply "further documentation" in answering questions posed by the Independent Regulatory Commission's owners' and directors' test.

However, chairman and new majority shareholder Andy Lonsdale has confirmed that the FA has received the necessary documentation, including the transfer of shares in the club to Lonsdale from Alan McCarthy, the previous majority shareholder.

Lonsdale told BBC Sport: "I did say it was only a paperwork exercise and the ban would be lifted. I hope people can see I am telling the truth. The FA are happy."

Hereford, who can now resume their campaign, are currently 15th in the Southern League Premier Division and visit Dunstable Town on Saturday.
