Promotion still takes some believing says Turner

Hereford United's promotion to League One culimates this weekend with a game against Grimsby on Saturday and a reception on Sunday.

And Manager Graham Turner still appears to be somewhat dazed by it all as he told BBC Hereford and Worcester this morning.

"It still takes some believing that we are going into a League that could have Southampton or Leicester. That Leeds and Nottingham Forest or both could still be done there," said Turner

"You look through the rest of the teams in there - one or two good local ones with Bristol Rovers and Swindon.

"It's a great season in prospect."

Meanwhile Hereford Mayor Chris Chapell has been telling the Hereford Journal about Sunday's football match between veterans from Hereford United and West Bromwich Albion at Westfields in add of his special charity - the Alzheimer's Society.

"Dementia has no cure, and sufferers can live for 15 years with this terrible illness.

"I am trying to raise money for the Befriending Scheme that gives support in the home to carers."

The gates open at 1.30pm and kick-off is at 2.30pm.
