It didn't take long to get to Neath. Even the directions on BN were somewhere near correct. You just had to watch the sheep on the Beacons above Storey Arms.
Our only problems were that we did find the entrance to the car-park opposite the ground a little confusing. And that all supporters went through the same turnstile.
The ground itself wasn't that modern and the leg-room when sat down was insufficent for anyone much over five feet tall. But otherwise a very friendly atmosphere and lovely to hear the announcements in Welsh as well as English.
Where's the Beast we asked. He's in the dressing room said the new Hereford United sports scientist so we thought he was going to play. He's got an ankle injury said the new kit man so he's not going to play. Later he was sat in the stand watching the game. He was missed on the pitch.
Former Swansea player Lee Trundle started for Neath. A benefactor of the club has, apparantly, put the money up to pay his £2,000 a week for the season. That's more than we pay our whole team each week noted a spy from Port Talbot. Trundle had already scored five goals in their friendlies to date.
Townsend rises above the Neath attack
It took just seven minutes for the Bulls to score their first goal but they will need to learn from Neath's equaliser which slipped past keeper Dan Connor possibly because the wall hadn't been properly organised.
The referee gave a talking to several players after a push or three.
Canham scored a hat-trick
After then it was virtually one way traffic especially towards the end when Neath were looking tired.
It should have been seven
The refreshments were excellent other than the coffee. And Trundle didn't score.
