Last year a couple of Hereford fans attended a match involving French side Paris FC and put a video from the match on Instagram. As a result of this 4 supporters travelled to Hereford in October 2015 for the Quorn match and they invited the fans they met at Edgar Street to attend a match in France.

The 6 Hereford fans who travelled to Paris |
Last Thursday evening 6 Hereford fans travelled out to Paris to visit and take in a match. They had a city tour on the Friday before attending Paris FC's match against Sochaux. Paris FC play in Ligue 2, which is the second tier of French football and play home matches at the 20,000 all seater Stade Sébastien Charléty. The match ended 0-0. Hereford fans taught the French the Hereford cider country song but the cider was changed to wine.

Following the match 7 Paris FC fans left at 3am to be in attendance at yesterday's Alvechurch game. Future trips and plans are in discussion but I'm sure many Hereford fans would happily attend a friendly in Paris. What do you think Paris FC?
