With Hereford being ineligible to play in the FA Cup in their inaugural season, fans have the magic of the cup to look forward to in August when Hereford FC play in the competition for the first time.
In an article on the official site yesterday, football secretary Martin Watson confirmed that although the format of the draw hadn't been confirmed, it is 'expected' to take place on 8th July.
It's likely that Hereford will join the competition on the 20th August in the Preliminary Round, with 2 rounds in both September and October should the Bulls get through.
