On This Day - February 19th

A look back at some headlines from February 19th:
 

2000:
 

HEREFORD United expect to have further talks with council leaders over plans to redevelop the area around their Edgar Street home.

Manager and chairman Graham Turner has already met the council leader to consider the proposed revamp.

The major re-development aims to incorporate football, cinema, hotel, car park and other leisure facilities in the town.

"We had an amicable meeting," said Turner.

"We have an open mind on the proposals. It is definitely an exciting project if it comes to fruition.

"Council Leader Terry James's ideas are if nothing else very ambitious and on the face of it could be a tremendous boost to the city.

"However they are very much in their infancy without us having any knowledge at all of the outcome for the club."
 

2002:

HEREFORD United player/coach Phil Robinson congratulated his side's comeback in yesterday's 4-3 Nationwide Conference win at second placed Boston United.


"At 2-0 down after only 12 minutes I was a little bit worried," he told the Evening News. "Thankfully, the players showed a lot of character."
 

2004:
 

West Bromwich Albion defender Tamika Mkandawire has returned to Edgar Street for a one-month loan-spell.
 

2005:
 

In a long article in this morning's Daily Telegraph, Sir Alex Ferguson says he is worried about the state of the pitch at Everton than the reception Wayne Rooney might receive for today's FA Cup match, but in the last paragraph mentions Edgar Street.

"But we have had difficult venues before to go to. We went to Hereford United once in the Cup and there was a bloody bull running around on the quagmire of a pitch at half-time. Unless Everton bring a bull on, we have no complaints about the pitch," commented Sir Alex.
 

2006:
 

With an important game on Tuesday evening at Edgar Street against Aldershot, Hereford United will be hoping that at least one of their strikers will return from injury.

Guy Ipoua travelled with the squad to Canvey Island and joined in the pre-match warm-up. But he wasn't named on the bench. And there was no sign of Danny Carey-Bertram, Hereford's other injured striker.

However Ipoua's services could be needed if the Bulls are to take three points from Aldershot on Tuesday following the horrific injury to Adam Stansfield and Stuart Fleetwood being substituted after receiving a knock.
