The Official Hereford United website has confirmed that the Blackfriars Terrace will not be open for this coming season as it has failed a health and safety inspection. The news comes as a blow to the club as it may lead to reduced revenue from away teams with large followings, as they would often be given half of the terrace.
The news follows another health and safety rule which means that the capacity of the Meadow End has also been reduced slightly with no standing allowed on the flat areas of the terrace.
Supporters can only hope that some good can come from the announcment in that it may provide a real eye-opener to the Richardsons in that Edgar Street is in need of urgent re-development. The Official Site states in its article that the club will be having a series of meetings with interesting parties in the coming weeks to discuss the development of the Blackfriars End, including a meeting with the Richardsons.
