The Bulls travel north on Saturday to meet Shrewsbury Town. The seated North Stand houses the visiting supporters and it is expected that there will be little more room than for our last visit come three o'clock. The facilities inside the stadium are good with both alcohol and light refreshments being available although it is understood that alcohol is not served at half-time.

Admission – PLEASE NOTE, this match is all-ticket for HUFC fans. Tickets are available from The Club office up 'til 12.00 noon on Friday. Adults £16, Over 65’s £11, Students (NUS Card required) £11, 12-16 £9, U12 £3. Disabled £11 (Carer FOC). There are also some special family deals available through HUFC on 08442 761939.

HUISA – Departs from Radford's at 12.30 pm with a fare of £12 (£13 non-members) James will be opening Radford's for 90 minutes before departure.

By Train – leave Hereford at 08.55, 09.55, 10.28, 10.55, 11.58, 12.28. Journey time varies between 47 and 56 minutes. Fans are advised to take the bus to the ground from the Bus Station, which is just 300 yards from the train station. Return trains depart at 17.21, 17.39, 18.54 and 19.20.

By Car – For those opting to drive, parking is likely to be an issue. Parking at the Pornstar is by permit only and options around the ground are very limited. The Brooklands Hotel (SY3 9JT) on Mill Road offers a space for £5 but fills early. It's a 5-minute walk. Best bet are the park and ride facilities at the Shirehall in Abbey Foregate (SY2 6ND) and the overflow park in London Road. From the A49, take the A5 and then follow signs for A5064 (Town Centre) to the Column roundabout. Take the third exit and the Shirehall park if signed off this road to the right. The London Road park is on the right before you reach The Column. You will need to walk to the Shirehall park for the bus. Distance is about 53 miles and you should allow at least one hour and a quarter.

Alehouses – Previous experience and recent advice suggests that HUFC fans are to be well supervised by the local constabulary so please behave. There may be an attempt to "guide" fans to a selected location but for those intent on sampling a few I would suggest the following. Five minutes from The Railway Station is Wetherspoons' Shrewsbury Hotel. Close together are The Coach and Horses (Swan Hill) and The Admiral Benbow whereas The Three Fishes in Fish Street offers both an excellent range of ale and a reasonably priced menu of Pub food. For those content to go without real ale, the Mardol area of the town boasts the usual Lloyds, Yates etc.. Just turn left out of the Railway station and walk up the hill. Please remember that it is a good 20/25 minute walk to the ground from the centre.
