Hereford can make History Today

Hereford United can make history today if they overcome Cardiff City in the fourth round FA Cup game at Edgar Street, kick-off 12.30pm.

The Bulls have never reached the fifth round but that is within their grasp this afternoon.

Tickets for the game sold out quickly and so Edgar Street should be packed out. And with just over 1,400 Cardiff City supporters expected to attend, there should be a great atmosphere.

The advice is to get to the ground in reasonable time. The car parks will be busy but as the game is on a Sunday there should be plenty of room. Even if the Merton Meadow car park is full there is the multi-story and other parks close by.

Many Cardiff City supporters are travelling by coach. They will be parked opposite the ground in the livestock market. The coaches will be given a police escort into and out of Hereford.

Hereford United supporters are reminded that the club shop will be open by 10am and the turnstiles, according to the club, will be open from 10.30am. Also please note that only supporters with a membership ticket will be allowed into Legends at half-time.

Meanwhile Cardiff City manager Dave Jones has summed up this cup-tie.

"Hereford have done brilliantly and Graham Turner has done a magnificent job being manager, chairman, owner.

"Whatever Graham will be telling his team, I’ll be telling mine. We’re in different leagues but we’re both after the same thing.

"It's a good tie for Hereford, it's a good tie for us. It gives us a chance, like it does Hereford, to go through to the next stage."

Finally for those unable to see the game in person, BBC Hereford and Worcester will have full coverage from Edgar Street both locally and on the internet for UK listeners. The build-up will begin in the Malcolm Boyden show and a Sports Special will start at 12noon with Trevor Owens, Keith Hall and Ricky George.
