No Ticket No Entry says Wallace

Hereford United supporters have been warned not to come to Broadhall Way on Monday without a ticket. The Stevenage chairman, Phil Wallace, issued the following statement late last night.

There were just a few hundred seats left as we closed on Friday night and we've sold a good percentage of our home terrace tickets. However, to make it as easy as possible for our fans to get tickets before the game, we're opening the Ticket office from 10am to 5pm on both Saturday and Sunday. We've been forced to make the match all ticket by the police due to the possibility that Hereford fans may travel without tickets on the day.

Things have been handled in an orderly manner in the Ticket office and we're happy with our controls for segregation. There's been the usual load of misinformation posted on the chat lines about travelling fans and most of what I'm told is there seems to be made up, probably for the craic! I don't have a problem as I expect the match to be in the spirit of Conference football. We've enjoyed some great matches with Hereford home and away in the past and they've always been held in a spirit of mutual respect - players and fans alike. This game won't be any different from the others inside the stadium. I've had several meetings with the police and they've confirmed that a very strong police presence will be the order of the day for the game, especially outside the stadium. It seems likely that we'll sell out before Monday as we expect heavy sales tomorrow and Sunday but, even if we don't, the police will not allow us to sell tickets on the day of the match. We certainly wouldn't sell them to away fans anyway as the segregated away area is sold out, so if anyone was thinking of travelling on spec from Hereford without a ticket, they should save themselves a wasted journey and watch it on Sky.

Gates will open at 3.30pm and kick off is at 5pm.
