Hereford FC supporters will have to wait another two to three weeks before the Midland League fixtures are released.
However it already looks as though the new club may be without a fixture on the second Saturday, August 15th, as there are FA Cup ties on that date.
Only Highgate United are, other than Hereford FC, not involved in the FA Cup so it's possible the two clubs could meet that afternoon.
Two weeks later, August 29th, sees another round of FA Cup ties and so it's likely that Hereford FC could be without a game that afternoon unless something can be arranged.
The following Saturday, September 5th, sees the first round of the FA Vase. As Hereford FC have a bye, that's possibly another Saturday without a fixture although several other Midland clubs also have byes.
So, as it looks at present, there could be three Saturday's the new club may not have games in the first five weeks of the season.
Hereford FC Fixture Dates:
August 8th - League
August 11th - League
August 15th -Possibly No Fixture (FA Cup - Hereford FC not involved)
August 18th - League
August 22nd - League
August 29th - Possibly No Fixture (FA Cup)
August 31st - League
September 5th - Possibly No Fixture (FA Vase - Bye for Hereford FC)
Given Hereford FC will want to capitalise on the current level of support, there's little doubt football secretary Martin Watson will do his best to ensure there are as few blank dates as possible especially when the weather is good.
