Pitch at Stockport may not suit Bulls

The pitch at Stockport County on Saturday isn't expected to suit Hereford United as it is being used the previous evening for a rugby international.

The England Saxons are taking on Portugal at Edgeley Park. And with the game priced at just £10 for adults and £5 for juniors, a large crowd is expected.

How badly the pitch cuts up will only be known after the game but Graham Turner has already expressed his concern.

"You've got a club with the status and standing of Stockport in the game. For them to have a rugby match on a Friday night prior to a game on a Saturday baffles me," Turner told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"We've got to go and have a look at the surface and try and adapt to it.

"It won't suit the passing game if it cuts up on the Friday. We might have to adjust a little bit."
