Sky and Boxing Day

As suggested earlier this week by HU-FC.co.uk, Sky are to cover the Boxing Day Conference clash at Edgar Street against Exeter City.

Hereford United should receive £5,000 from the fixture, which will kick-off at 7.45pm.

The late start is expected to severely cut the number of Exeter fans making the trip to Hereford and it has to be questioned whether United will financially gain from the coverage. A drop in attendance of 700 would negate any gain from Sky.

There is also the fact that television coverage allows other Conference teams to watch and record Hereford performance and tactics.

Meanwhile home attendance at Hereford has averaged 4032 for the first four Conference games this season.
