Warm welcome for Rob at Torquay

There must be times when riding a cycle on a wet and windy day isn't the most pleasant task but Hereford Unbited supporter Rob Powell appears to be coping well.

Rob, who is hoping to visit some 61 clubs in an effort to raise money for the Hereford MS Society, arrived at Torquay football ground yesterday afternoon.

"I arrived on time to a warm welcome. The receptionist got me a cup of coffee and said that 2 players would be here soon. Chairman Chris Roberts came down and greeted me. They had a signed football for me and tomorrow's programme. Adam Murray and Jordan Robertson arrived and we had our photographs taken in the ground by a Torquay sign which was from HMS Torquay the WW2 ship which helped sink the Bismark," said Rob.

The next stage of his itinery takes him along the South Coast to Bournemouth and Southampton.
