Former Bulls captain Tony James has spoken to the Derby Telegraph, looking forward to his first time playing against the Bulls:
He reflects on being released from Edgar Street: "It was very disappointing at the time, having been at Hereford for so long. I wanted to play in the Football League but things happen and, to be honest, they've turned out very well for me since. I had a couple of injuries during the season, so it wasn't ideal. I wasn't fit and had to sit out the run-in.
"But, to be honest, I had been getting a bit frustrated and it was probably time for a change. I didn't leave the club with any animosity. I sat down and talked to the manager and we agreed that I needed something new in my career – I'd been there too long and gone stale. But I enjoyed myself at Hereford; you'd have to to stay at a club for eight years and, of course, it helped being an established member of the team.
"I've been looking forward to playing against them since I've left – not because I have anything to prove, just that everyone likes to play against their old club, especially if they'd been there a long time."
