There was a stoppage lasting several minutes during the first half of Saturday's game against Tiverton Town at Edgar Street when the dug-outs appeared to come to blows.
The incident happened just as Mike Symons was brought down. It took the shine off what turned out to be a good day for Hereford with three points from the game and other clubs dropping points.
BN understands that the Tiverton Physio called Hereford manager Peter Beadle an offensive name. What provoked the physio isn't known.
