Get to Edgar Street early
After last Saturday's big crowd, Graham Turner has apologised for the fact that a number of spectators missed the first few minutes of the game as there were delays getting them into the ground.
He told the Hereford Times that at 2.45pm, the chief steward thought that the queues were manageable and that everyone would be in the ground on time. At 2.55pm, however, after it was decided that the match was definitely start at 3pm, there was a big surge of people coming from the direction of the market. It was too late to delay the kick-off at this late stage.
There was a problem with some people being unable to sit in the block they had been given tickets for and a few complaints about adults and children being seperated at some gates.
The manager is asking that, in future, supporters try to get to the ground 15 minutes earlier than usual to help the flow of fans through the turnstiles.
The support at last Saturday's game was excellent and if a few problems occured because of the size of the crowd this should be relayed to the planners currently designing the improvements to the Edgar Street Basin. It is believed that the Merton Meadow car park was unable to take all those who wished to park there for the game.
