The Fans in the Len Weston Stand

Today's Hereford Times carries an article about supporters who sit in the Len Weston Stand, the one that runs next to the A49.

Whilst it is now called the Cargill Stand and was for a while the Floors-to-Go stand, most supporters still think of it as the Len Weston Stand. After all it was Len Weston, who was chairman of Hereford United from 1949 to 1965 and afterwards president, who was the inspiration for the stand which was built in 1973.

Marc Richards, better known as Parkabull, is one fan who still sits in the Len Weston.

"A few of us have got nicknames, like Carneybull, Ledburybull (BN's home match reporter - ed) and Hampton, and one has even called himself Len Weston’s Last Stand, in memory of the great man," he told the Hereford Times.

Another view came from Dennis Pitt.

"You are right in the heart of the action and can see everything," he said.

"It is definitely a unique stand as there aren’t many like it in the country – not with big concrete pillars anyway."
