Don't Forget Your Binoculars

Last season it was Brighton and its Withdean Stadium. This afternoon it is Rotherham and its Don Valley Stadium.

What have they got in common? An athletic track around the perimeter of the ground.

At Brighton the Hereford United supporters were sat thirty or so yards away from the edge of the pitch. And it was open to the elements. However a new stadium is being built and could be ready for next season.

At Rotherham once again the Hereford fans will need x-ray eyesight or perhaps evena pair of binoculars to keep up with the action.

However, unlike Withdean, it is a 'new' stadium for fans to visit.

Hereford United manager John Trewick is looking forward to the game against high-flying Rotherham.

"They had a good year last year and I'm not surprised to see them near the top of the division.

"I don't league position makes a great deal of difference. The only thing we're focused on is improving ourselves.

"I think we are doing that."

As ever, for those supporters in and around Herefordshire who are unable to go to the game there will be live commentary of the whole of the proceedings on BBC Hereford and Worcester's 94.7FM frequency.
