Highest gate this season

With Bristol Rovers bringing 1181 supporters, the gate at Edgar Street of 5201 was the highest so far this season.

Although home fans were caught up in queues, the Rovers fans appeared to get into the ground quite quickly with nothing like the delays seen when Walsall visited Hereford in November.

The stats for the match show a very level game. Possession was given at 50% for each side.

Shots on target were eight for each side.

As usual the Bulls were penalised for less fouls, just five against Rovers' eleven.

Andy Ferrell received a mark of eight for his performance with Brown, Travis, Gulliver, Purdie and Sills getting a seven. All the other Hereford players were given a six except a below-par McClenahan who had a five. Rovers' Campbell received an eight.

And finally a word about the referee, Dermot Gallagher. Again the quality of a top class referee was noticable. He tried to let the game flow and didn't book any player on either side.
