Turner on Pre-season Friendlies

Hereford United chairman Graham Turner has spoken to BBC Hereford and Worcester about pre-season friendlies.

"We have a Wolves XI, Bristol City and Bristol Rovers so there are three attractive games for us," said Turner

"I think we probably need another home pre-season match and then we will look for several away games.

"When Wolves came down last season you had got to fancy them for promotion.

"It gives us an opportunity to have a look at some of the young lads from these bigger clubs

"When you looked at their side through the game with us, it was the pace they played at.

"When you looked at how Southampton played when they came up here there was no comparison, so it didn't surprise me that Wolves were promoted and Southampton relegated.

"It also gives us an opportunity to have a look at some of the young lads from these bigger clubs.

"In the past we have had one or two players from Wolves so when we play them it will give us an opportunity to keep the good relationship going.

"It is nice to have the relationships that we have with Wolves and West Brom, while it would be nice to get closer links with Aston Villa and to get some of their young lads out but we have not been able to do that so far."
