Strong support for Bulls expected at St Andrews

Around two thousand Hereford United supporters are expected to travel to St Andrews on Tuesday for the Carling Cup second round game against Birmingham City.

HUISA have filled at least eight coaches and HUMADS had just eight seats remaining on their coaches as at earlier this morning.

Hereford United stopped selling tickets for the game last evening. However plenty of tickets will be available on the evening of the game at the ground. Prices are £10 for adults and £5 for concessions.

Other than for the Conference play-off final at Leicester in spring 2006, the turnout of support for the Bulls at St Andrews could be one of the highest at an away venue for some seasons. The media attention generated through the ticket price dispute between the two clubs has, undoubtedly, increased interest in the tie by Hereford United supporters.

Meanwhile John Trewick, the Hereford United coach, is looking forward to the tie.

"It's a great game for us. What sort of side they'll put out I don't know. Quite frankly I'm not bothered," Trewick told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"If we go and play the way we are capable of playing we could cause them a real problem."
