More information has been released about the granting of a limited safety certificate for Edgar Street earlier this afternoon.
Mike Pigrem, head of trading standards and licencing at Herefordshire Council, spoke to BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"The game on Saturday can go ahead.
"We had a second meeting this afternoon and the club managed to satisfy the local authority and its partner agencies that steps are in place to allow the game this Saturday allbeit with a limited allocation of spectators to one thousand.
"The club has a number of areas it has to comply with, ranging from health and safety, fire risk assessments, structural reports for the terraces and the ground, marshalling plan, medical plans.
"It can be quite complicated and quite involved.
"There have been a number of issues. Some of these plans have fallen into disarray, some of them haven't been updated.
"As the local authority that issues the general safety certificate we have to be satified that the appropriate measures are in place to ultimately ensure spectator and user safety.
"It covers the whole range of whether it's the egress or the access, the emergency lighting, the tannoy, the PA system, all that sort of thing.
"Although there are a number of stands within the ground, there are only two that will be in operation that's the Merton Stand and the Merton Terrace.
"The actual limit (1000 spectators) was put forward by the safety consultants that were brought in by the club to get the paperwork in order and that's been expected by the local authority and the partner agencies.
"The other stands are not being used because there are issues that need to be rectified before they can be brought back into use."
Meanwhile BN understands that no season tickets have yet been sold by the club because they didn't know what the capacity would be.
Finally club chairman Andy Lonsdale has commented:

“We are really pleased to finally get
everything in place; it has been a battle to get there, but finally it
is all coming together. Thank you to the local authorities for their
support during the process.
"After a long hard summer for the club and
fans we hope that the football will now do the talking”.
