Hereford manager Peter Beadle has sounded a cautious note about the forthcoming season.
"The divisions are going to get harder and harder," Beadle told BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"There's no guarantee that we are going to be there or there abouts at the end of the season.
"It's our aim to be there or there abouts but it's a long journey.
"It's 46 games, that's four more games than last year in the league, and that's without any cup runs we want to go on."
