It's On The Level Of Newcastle Said Watson


Hereford FC's football director Martin Watson was so pleased with the draw at Fleetwood this afternoon that he felt it was 'on the level of Newcastle'.

"To go away to a team 88 positions places higher, in terms of League positions it's on the level of Newcastle.

"It was always a big ask but that was a gignantic performance.

"They were scared of us but they had a lot of pace on the break so when they broke we were scared of them.

"The game could have gone any way. Neither side deserved to lose so a draw is probably a fair result and we get another crack at it."

Beadle gave new signing Billy Murphy a start.

"He trained Thursday night, he's just been released from his contract at Bath City.

"He's known to Beads and luckily he hadn't played in the FA Cup for Bath, an unused sub so he was eligible.

"We got him in about 55 minutes before the deadline.

"He did exceptionally well, bearing in mind he's done two training sessions, the second at Keele yesterday."

Obviously Watson couldn't confirm all the details for the reply.

"A week Tuesday at Edgar Street, normal prices will apply. Deals for season ticket holders shortly no doubt!

"If it's televised the date might be changed so it depends on BT.

"It's not so much money in the replays as the first game. Only £36,000 in the replay but we wouldn't argue about that.

"You look to the draw on Monday and if you get the plum tie then I think tickets will go."
