Turner and Peters in advance of Tomorrow's Derby

Both Graham Turner and Gary Peters have been talking to their respective web-sites in advance of tomorrow's local derby at Shrewsbury's New Meadow.

The Hereford United manger said that he had already looked around the new Shrewsbury stadium.

"With trying to get things done at Edgar Street, I thought it would be interesting to go and see how they've done the new ground and what could be incorporated.

"There should be a good crowd, a good atmosphere. The players are looking forward to going there on the back of four straight wins. We go there with a lot of confidence.

"So far this season the away support has been absolutely outstanding - when you think of Leeds, Bradford, Tranmere.

"I don't think there will be quite 1,700. They have reduced the amount to around the 1,400 mark. But the vocal support we get away from home has been absolutely first class. It's important we out shout them, it's important we get behind the players.

"I keep putting in my programme notes that sometimes things don't go quite to plan and it is then, more than ever, that we need that vocal support."

Whilst Turner has some injury problems he should be able to put out a strong side. Shrewsbury manager Gary Peters has both injury and suspension troubles.

"Both Dave Hibbert and Colin Murdoch are suspended for the Hereford game. Then we've got Ben Davies and Cookie and Darren Kempson as well now. We can't say we are in better shape for Hereford than we were with the game at Morecambe," said Peters.

"Let's hope there is no wind this week, we definitely know we have a nice flat pitch, so its whether the quality that they have obviously got, with all the loan players they've got from clubs in the Championship and the Premiership, shows.

"The good thing with this stadium is that we can have a good crowd here, they can all have good facilities and be seated well. I think everyone is expecting so much from the season that a lot of time they're feeling disappointed but the last game (MK Dons) here, no-one was disappointed with that display and fightback. We should show that spirit all the time and maybe we've got to pretend we are 3-0 down before we get out there, see if that works. If people come to enjoy themselves then they usually do but we've got to make sure that everybody keeps that atmosphere going. I think there was doubts that we would get the atmosphere we did at Gay Meadow, because of the corners being open and things like that but certainly, when we have raised our game, the supporters have raised their game and its a chicken and the egg situation with who's going to be first. If it were really volatile in the crowd with everybody really getting behind the team, maybe that would set us off, rather than us setting them off with a second half fightback."
