Saturday is the day when we all make our shortest trip of the season when The Bulls take on Shrewsbury Town at their new stadium in Oteley Road. The seated North Stand houses the visiting supporters and it will be full of extremely noisy Herefordians come three o'clock. The facilities inside the stadium are good with both alcohol and light refreshments being available although it is understood that alcohol is not served at half-time.

HUISA are believed to be running five coaches, HUMADS three, and LEDBURY and the FUNBUS one each.

The ground is some way from the Town centre and those intending to travel by train are advised to complete their journey by bus or taxi.

For those travelling by car, parking is likely to be the biggest problem as there is no parking available at the ground unless you have access to a permit. Full details of the Shrewsbury travel plan including Park and Ride and Park and Walk can be found at

Those travelling by any means other than organised coach are advised to print a copy of this document and take it with them.

For any who are intent on sampling the delights of the local hostelries, jovial Victor makes the following recommendations. Five minutes from The Railway Station is Wetherspoons' Shrewsbury Hotel. Close together are The Coach and Horses (Swan Hill) and The Admiral Benbow whereas The Three Fishes in Fish Street offers both an excellent range of ale and a reasonably priced menu of Pub food. For those content to go without real ale, the Mardol area of the town boasts the usual Lloyds, Yates etc.. Just turn left out of the Railway station and walk up the hill. Please remember that it is a good 20/25 minute walk to the ground from the centre.

The distance from Hereford to Oteley Road is about 53 miles and with the expected traffic, you should allow an hour and a half. Postcode is SY2 6ST

Let's make some noise!
