2013–14 Hereford United F.C. season

The 2013–14 season was the 93rd and penultimate competitive season of Hereford United Football Club and their second consecutive season, as well as their 11th overall, in the Conference Premier, the fifth tier of English football, following their 6th-placed finish in the previous season. The club also completed in both the FA Cup and the FA Trophy.

Season summary
During the summer of 2013, Hereford lost three of their key players from the previous season, including top goalscorer Ryan Bowman. Bowman, along with Marley Watkins and Sam Clucas, were offered contracts but all three signed elsewhere, meaning Hereford were to be awarded a fee for each player at tribunal at a later date.

On 10 January 2014, Hereford were placed under a transfer embargo.

Manager Martin Foyle and his assistant Andy Porter left the club on 19 March 2014, with youth team manager Peter Beadle taking over as caretaker the following day.

Hereford entered the final day of the season in the relegation zone and needed to win at Aldershot Town combined with Chester failing to win at home to Salisbury City in order to stay up. Going into the 86th minute, Chester were winning 2–1 whilst Hereford were drawing 1–1 and looking certain to be relegated. Chester then conceded an equaliser before Michael Rankine scored an 88th-minute winner for Hereford to completely change the outcome in the space of two minutes, and ensuring Hereford avoided relegation.

This season Hereford gave future West Ham and England forward Jarrod Bowen his first appearances in professional football.

On 10 June 2014, the club was expelled from the Football Conference despite their final day survival, meaning they would be demoted to the Southern League Premier Division and Chester reprieved from relegation. The club commenced their campaign in the Southern League the following season, but would go on to be wound-up in court on 19 December 2014.
