It all started quite well at Meadow Lane this afternoon.
Car park right opposite, away entrance directly across the road, good seats towards the middle of the one main stand.
Then the surprises. Who are the players warming up on their own? Are we sure?
Ryan Green, Darren Jones, Mathieu Manset, Lee Morris, Ryan Valentine, Tyler Weir and Adam Bartlett all in a circle away from the rest of the squad. There's some mistake.
There wasn't. John Trewick had decided to change the back four and the keeper. Brave or foolhardy? Two teenagers in the heart of defence.
The game started and in truth for the first 33 minutes there wasn't too much to choose between the two sides.
Excellent support from the surprisingly large Hereford United following. "Where's your money gone" was one of the chants.
Then County scored and sections of the support started to vent their anger on manager John Trewick.
From then on it only got worse.
And Trewick didn't help his cause when he failed to commiserate with youngster Paul Downing after he was sent off.
After the game the inquest. What can be done. Cheltenham will be a six-pointer on Tuesday evening.
Will Trewick be in charge or will Graham Turner take over.
A reserve keeper will have to appear from somewhere.
One thing is certain. Should the Bulls lose on Tuesday, the attendance next Saturday at Edgar Street will be easy to count.
