Turner admits worry about gates

Graham Turner has spoken about his disappointment that the current attendances at Edgar Street are not higher despite Hereford United playing so well.

"The one big issue on Saturday was the attendance and it is a concern that we were getting better attandances in the Conference," he wrote in his Hereford Times column.

"We had returned to Edgar Street on the back of a 3-0 victory at Morecambe, were nicely placed in the League and with a big and attractive club visiting - one that was in the Premiership not so long ago- yet we barely mustered 2,700 of our own supporters.

"We are not attracting fresh support through the gate and that is disappointing given all the circumstances of last Saturday.

"People may assume that this is a moan about the level of support but, take it as you wish, it is a concern that we were getting better gates in the Conference and it is difficult to understand why."

Meanwhile the paper reports that the reserves beat Team Bath 4-1 in a behind closed dorrs friendly at Edgar Street on Tuesday afternoon with goals from Simon Johnson (2), Craig Jones and Luke Webb.
