We are all relieved says Pitman

It's been a tough start as a manager for Jamie Pitman, pictured with his two children after the game, but this afternoon's point at Edgar Street against Bradford was enough to ensure Hereford United will play in League Two again next season.

"We made it tough but we're delighted," Pitman told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"I think as much as anything we're just all relieved.

"It's been a really tough season. It's been stressful, painful, a roller-coaster ride of total emotions but it's the best job in the world.

"I've got to thank my players, Dave Kevan, Houlty especially who has kept me going constantly all the time. He doesn't get enought credit for what he does.

"Bradford came here needing another point and they stifiled the game. Made it difficult but in general we dealt with most things.

"We gave the goal away and you're thinking - nightmare. It was a penalty.

"But Stuart, who has had a terrific season for me, has come up trumps with a decent free kick."
