More stable footing to go up now says Turner

Graham Turner has told BBC Hereford and Worcester that Hereford United are in a much stronger position now than when they were relegated to the Conference.

"There are not too many sides who bounce straight back and I think the couple who have done over recent seasons have been a bit fortunate.

"Certainly Shrewsbury were very fortunate to have gone straight back. We were miles the better side than them throughout the season. We should have gone up that season. But that's all gone.

"Carlisle were not in contention for winning it and went up through the play-offs. How well they've done in the Second Division.

"It is not easy to come down and then bounce straight back up, that's obvious. Kidderminster and Cambridge, the two relegated sides from last season, both in financial difficulties, both need to stabilise the club and get the finances sorted out.

"It's taken us a long time to do and we pleased we have got the club on a more stable footing now.

"And when we go up - the lessons should have been learnt about the over-spending from years gone-by in the League - we got to make sure that we go up a lot stronger than when we came down.

"And that's happening at the moment."
