Ronaldo At Edgar Street


Today sees the first ever Hereford FC Midland League game at Edgar Street and Ronaldo will paraded around the ground in the build up to kick-off.

Ronaldo is a pedigree Hereford bull owned by H Weston and Sons, the Cider makers from Much Marcle. Tom Mann looks after him.

"We bought Ronaldo this year," Mann told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"Ever since we've had him he's been so popular because of his name.

"He is massive, he's good with people because he's been to shows. He's been champion twice at the Three Counties. The crowd won't bother him at all.

"It's very good for Hereford and the Hereford bull going back there. It's a new start and I hope it will go on and on.

"Because he's called Ronaldo he'll have a Man United scarf on, because everyone knows that's where he started off from, a Real Madrid one and then two Hereford FC scarves as well.

"It's good for us to promote the cattle as well as supporting Hereford FC."

Meanwhile Hereford FC chairman Jon Hale is pleased Ronaldo is visiting Edgar Street this afternoon.

"We're delighted to be able to continue the fantastic tradition of parading a Hereford Bull around the outside of the pitch ahead of big games," Hale told the WDP.

"For Hereford FC, no game is bigger than our very first competitive match, and I'd like to thank Henry Weston stockman Tom Manns, his team and everyone at Henry Westons for their help in making sure that this tradition can continue."
