Yeovil wait on four

Hereford United face a tough task to overcome Yeovil Town in tomorrow's Nationwide Conference encounter at Huish Park, kick off 3pm.

The Bulls have recently moved into the top half of the table but have since lost against Chester City and Leigh RMI. Yeovil, on the other hand, are third and beat Hereford 2-0 at Edgar Street last September.

Glovers boss Gary Johnson is hoping to welcome back two players from injury ahead of the match. He said: "I have got Kim Grant, Colin Pluck, Lee Johnson and Darren Way out at the moment. But I am keeping my fingers crossed that two of the four might make it."

Kim Grant (achilles) and Lee Johnson (calf) have been out for two weeks and midfielder Darren Way has a hamstring strain.

"Kim Grant trained on Thursday, so he is looking hopeful," said Johnson. "We'll see how all four of them are nearer the time. I'm hopeful that at least two or three of them will come through."

Yeovil are unbeaten in their last twelve games and their last home defeat came back in November, but Hereford coach Phil Robinson said: "We effectively finished their chances of winning the title last year and it is nice to be in a position to affect what happens this year. We put a dent in Boston's chances and we owe it to them to put up an-other good performance at Yeovil."

United's Matt Clarke (hamstring), Scott Goodwin (abdomen), Steve Piearce (ankle), Phil Robinson (calf) and Jon Hill (groin) are doubts for the game.

BOLSA committee results out

The newly appointed committee would like to announce the formation of BOLSA – Bulls On-Line Supporters Association.

BOLSA is an independent non-political organisation which intends to serve the needs of both exiled Hereford United FC supporters, and local based supporters who wish to support the Club by fund-raising and heightening the local and national awareness of the current situation of Hereford United FC.

Following recent elections based at the Official Hereford United FC forum, the following appointments have been made:

Chairman: Jon Wells
Vice Chairman: Graham Johnson
Treasurer: Darren Coates
Secretary: John Perkins
Press and PR: Martin Watson

One of the first aims of BOLSA is to compile a database of the practical skills of the supporters that the Club can call upon from time to time to help reduce the operating costs associated with the day to day running of the Club. Longer term, BOLSA will be co-ordinating a number of fund raising initiatives based on ideas from Hereford United fans.

Although BOLSA was formed on the internet, membership of BOLSA is not exclusively for those with internet access. For those without internet access, BOLSA intends to publish monthly summaries of events and discussions through ‘Billy News’ – the fanzine from Hereford United’s mascot Billy The Bull. In addition, BOLSA has a Hereford City Centre location for mail and ideas, and our Committee members are always available at matches both Home and Away to discuss ideas.

Membership of BOLSA if free, however we suggest a small donation of £5 towards BOLSA funds upon joining. Membership forms are available through E-mail at bolsa_2002@hotmail.com, from MWPC at 72 Commercial Road, Hereford, or by contacting any of the committee members. Membership forms will be distributed at the home match with Telford on 5^th March.

The election administrator would like to thank everyone that voted in the formation of the new forum association. The results of the two remaining positions on the committee will be announced soon.
