Collecting For The Bulls At The Swans

Supporters At Swansea

Steve Hodges and his son were two of the Hereford United supporters that spent yesterday at Swansea City collecting for the Bulls.

£1743 was raised.

My son and I were two of the supporters who attended the Swansea v Southampton yesterday to hold a bucket collection in aid of The Bulls. We were all struck by just how welcoming and generous everyone was. The fact that Swansea understood our situation, having ‘been there themselves’ particularly helped and many of their fans all had a story to tell about Hereford United. The money raised will be counted over the coming days! Big thanks to Gareth Field for creating the seed and organising this. It was a real shame that he wasn't able to join us on the day. 

Yesterday’s visit also highlighted the differences between us and Premier League clubs, from the Ferrari and Maserati cars in the car park, to the away fans all being treated to free food, a scarf, a mask and subsidised travel. We were all treated to seats in the West Stand and had a great view of the match. The game seemed to be heading towards a draw until Rickie Lambert scored a very bizarre goal right at the death.

After the match we were able to go pitchside and got to meet a few of the Swansea players. We got back to Hereford about 8:30pm, tired but pleased with our efforts.
