Nine Months of Orange Bulls

Hereford United will turn out in their new orange strip when they take to the pitch at Christie Park this afternoon.

Whether orange will turn out to be a lucky colour for the Bulls remains to be seen but it's one of those colours which is distinctive to say the least. It will be easy to spot supporters, wearing the new shirt, from a distance.

On the pitch John Trewick has a fully-fit squad to choose from and whilst most positions look to have reasonable cover, the manager admits he is still looking for one or two strikers to boost the attack.

Although Trewick took charge of a couple of games at the end of last season, this will be his first full season managing. He's certainly followed the saying 'a new broom sweeps clean' with just four players remaining from last season.

How well they have gelled together will be seen this afternoon by the 300 or so supporters expected at the game.

Meanwhile for those unable to see the game 'live' BBC Hereford and Worcester will once again be covering Hereford United on their travels this season.

Keith Hall will be their man behind the microphone bringing the listener full commentary of every away game starting at Christie Park, the current home of Morecambe, this afternoon.

The commentary, only available on H&W's 94.7FM frequency around Herefordshire, will be a major part of Sport On Saturday which returns after its summer break.

Update 10pm: The Bulls did not play in their new away strip this afternoon.
