Vale came to the Street last season

Port Vale will know their way around Edgar Street when they visit next Saturday for the FA Cup game as it was only last November they last set foot on the Hereford United turf.

That time it was for a LDV game which the Bulls won 2-1.

Since then there have been squad changes at both clubs.

For example Craig Mawson was in goal for the Bulls as current 'keeper Wayne Brown was cup-tied by his former club Chester City. Also in the team that evening were Ryan Green, Jon Brady, Jamie Pitman, Guy Ipoua, Craig Stanley, Daniel Carey-Bertram. On the bench were Adam Stansfield and Graham Evans.

Port Vale struggled to put out a strong team as they had several players out with injury.

Included in their side was Michael Husbands who had a spell at Hereford. He is still with Vale.

Of the others that either played or were on the bench just five of them are still with Vale: Pilkington, Sonner, Smith, Lowndes, and Cardle.

The game itself went to extra time. However Tamika Mkandawire's late goal made sure Hereford United were in the next round.

Just 152 Vale fans made the trip out of a poor gate of just 1355. Hopefully there will be a lot more interest next Saturday.
