Supporters arriving at Gigg Lane last night were pleased to see Andy Williams out on the pitch warming up. Many had been delayed reaching Bury because of an accident on the A49 above Shrewsbury.
The pitch reminded some supporters of Wales - a mountain in the middle and a valley on either side.
And as soon as news reached them that Williams had turned down a deal to join Bristol Rovers, there was little else to talk about, except, once again, the facilities at an away stadium.
Williams didn't start but came on in place of Steve Jennings, who looked to be suffering from some sort of injury (he had a knock late in the game last Saturday)with just fifteen minutes to go.
The fans had been chanting for Willo to come on for most of the second half before he made his appearance.
Just three minutes later he proved his value to Hereford United with a 25 yard strike that sailed into the far right side of the net. It was probably the best goal Willo had scored in his career.
"They were getting a bit tired at the back and we had started to play a bit of football towards the end and when we got the goal back to make it 2-1 they dropped out a bit," Williams told BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"I got a shot off and thankfully it went in."
He also spoke his position at Hereford United.
"I couldn't tell you what the gaffer and that are thinking of but as far as I'm concerned at the moment I'm a Hereford player and that's all I want to be."
