The Bulls entertain Ledbury Town on Tuesday for a HFA Cup match has been six months in the making.
The fixture was originally announced in early August, and initially scheduled for mid October before heavy rain forced it's cancellation. Confirmation on admission prices is yet to come from the club, but the plan for the October date was for only the Merton Stand to be open with prices set at £5 and £2.
The Bulls will field what will basically be a reserve side. With Steve Guinan and Luke Webb suffering setbacks in their returns from injury neither are expected to appear, but it is expected to be the first Bulls appearance for winger Jack MacLeod. Marcus Palmer, who scored against Ledbury in last season's competition, and Jordan Fitzpatrick are expected to play as they did in last year's final.
In that game last April the Bulls fielded just two of the previous weekend's starting line-up, lifting the cup with a 3-0 victory in front of around 400 supporters with Stuart Fleetwood and Sam Gwynne scoring the others.
Ledbury play in the Premier Division of the West Midlands League, a competiton won by Hereford United Reserves in it's previous guise in 1950. They lie just two places off the bottom but thrashed fellow strugglers Bustleholme 5-1 today to move clear of bottom club Bromyard Town. They have conceded 69 goals in 29 league games so far this season, but have tightened their defence dramatically in recent weeks.
Hereford United vs Ledbury Town, Edgar Street, Tuesday 5th February, 7.30pm.
