Turner on Halifax

Graham Turner is hoping that the £5,000 on offer to the winners of tomorrow's trophy game at Halifax will be coming to Edgar Street.

"It's a tough proposition going up to Halifax; they're in a reasonable spell at the moment, and it's never easy to go there," Turner told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"I watched them on Sky against Morecambe on Monday evening; the pitch is not in the best of conditions, the ball was very lively, which doesn't suit our style.

"If you're trying to get it down and pass it, you need the best possible conditions you can get."

"It's one (the Trophy) we would like to progress in; there's some money in it, and there's some prestige in it, if you can get to the final.

"We've been playing in it for a long time, and I would have loved to have played in the final before now, but we've never quite made it, although we've gone close once or twice."

Meanwhile Chris Wilder, the Halifax manager, has been talking to the Halifax Courier.

"There are easier draws than this. Hereford will come here and want to win the game.

"But we have been fortunate with home draws and it could certainly have been a lot more difficult."
