Third in the League

Herefordshire is a county renowned for its beef, apples and of course cider. It's quite good at growing potatoes as well and converting them into premium crisps and even vodka. All good healthy foods!

And many people work in manual type jobs and therefore probably use up more energy than average.

So a recent study that suggests Hereford United supporters are the third fattest in League Football takes some believing.

Stockport top the table with some 61.3% of their fans deemed to be over-weight. Rotherham are second with 58.3% and then Hereford United with 57.9%.

The findings are part of an on-line survey conducted by the NHS Choices which had 25,000 replies. It's part of an initative called the 'Football Fan Fitness Challenge'. The aim is to encourage fans to become more active and, no doubt, lose a bit of weight. The survey was conducted during the summer break.
