Calm before the Storm
Hereford United have a clear week before their next fixture but then play five games, four of which are at home, in a fortnight. And if the FA Cup game is drawn then it could mean seven games in three weeks.
The action starts next Saturday with a Conference game against improving Tamworth at Edgar Street. The following Tuesday evening sees the Bulls take on Blackpool in a LDV Northern Area quarter final match. This game has to have a winner on the night so could go to extra time with penalties if not decided. Both previous LDV games have gone to penalties.
The following Saturday, December 4th, sees second round FA Cup action at Edgar Street when Boston are the visitors. Should a replay be needed this is expected to take place on December 14th.
Forest Green Rovers are the visitors on Tuesday December 7th for an evening Conference League fixture and finally the Bulls are due to make the long trip to Scarborough on the following Saturday for another Conference game.
To add to the fixture list will be a new date for the visit of Hereford to Morecambe which has been postponed as it was due to take place on December 4th, FA Cup day.
Should the Bulls lose the LDV game they will receive £8,000 and should the Bulls win the FA Cup game the prize money is £24,000 with the possibility of £13,000 if televised highlights are shown.
At present virtually all the Hereford squad are fit. Only Andy Tretton and Ryan Green missed yesterday's match at Canvey through injury and neither are thought to be far from fit.
Thankfully, Hereford should not be troubled for now with suspensions as they have only three players with more than one yellow card. Captain Tony James, Lee Mills and Danny Williams are on two yellows, whilst Tretton, Green, Hyde, Smith, Robinson, Stanley and Pitman have collected one yellow card each. The other three cards Hereford have collected this season were all given to Johnathan Gould who has returned to Preston.
