A spokesperson for the animal rights and other organisations who demonstrated at Ledbury last Saturday week has spoken of their regret that Hereford United football supporters had to watch the game against Swindon on the Friday evening but at the same time spoke out against their sponsors Cargill.
This from the Netcu website:
The Hereford Journal reported that to actually police the demo’ West Mercia persuaded Hereford United football team to play on the Friday night instead of Saturday afternoon. This is regrettable for the football fans ordinary folk who may have had their enjoyment of the game curtailed possibly to cause resentment against us.
However Hereford United are sponsored by Cargill a really nasty company who kill millions of chickens for McDonalds, force GMOs into the marketplace, destroy rainforests, etc, etc, none of us were too upset for them, they were also visited by activists who had an impromptu picnic outside the abattoir thus disrupting a shift change.
More demonstations are planned at Ledbury according to the site. As yet the dates suggested do not clash with a home game at Edgar Street.
