Turner comments about poor support

In his weekly column in the Hereford Times, Graham Turner has commented about the disappoining gates at Edgar Street so far this season.

"We have some concerns about the level of attendance.

"We have budgeted for an average gate of 4,000 this year but the disappointing thing for me is that, of our own supporters, fewer that 3,000 are turning up."

Turner notes that under 3,000 Hereford supporters watched the Coventry game.

"We look for reasons - it is a possibility that the holiday season is still underway and that is having an impact on the attendances; it could be the price of it now, with the Coventry game quickly followed by the match against Hartlepool."

Turner acknowledges that there are some very attractive fixtures to come.

"Bit I have to say that, in the long term, it really would cause us problems if we do not get nearer the average of 4,000."
