GamingBlomp Back At Edgar Street
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL4FMqqjJUY
Back at Edgar Street for me, for the first home game of the 2026-27 season, with Hereford taking on Marine.
Hereford beat Marine home and away last season as we looked to maintain our National League North status, eventually surviving on goal difference on the final day, but surely the new season has to be better?
Both teams come into matchday two off the back of an opening day defeat, with Hereford losing 2-1 at Buxton and Marine beaten 1-0 at home by Macclesfield, and this was a hard fought contest.
Check out all the action, as well as the post match thoughts of Aaron Downes & Kam Kandola

Upgraded Medical Room and New Toilet Facilities
This from HUST:
During the close season, Hereford FC have undertaken a number of projects to improve the facilities for all spectators at the MandM Edgar Stadium.
The improvements include the installation of a new disabled toilet block between the Merton Stand and the Meadow End, two new ladies toilets in the Executive Club (one of the club’s key non-matchday function spaces), an improvement to the toilets in Radford’s Bar and also the relocation and upgrade of the main matchday medical room to a pitchside location between A Block and B Block.
In addition, the Hereford Suite has had a complete roof refurbishment over the summer, as it had been leaking badly for some time and the water was causing ongoing damage to the room below, which is a key income stream for the club off the field.
Bulls Chairman, Chris Ammonds, said:
“All the work carried out is vital to ensure that we continue to look after all our supporters and provide them with the best facilities possible. While we are always fighting a battle against the age of our ground and the way it was designed, we know we have to try to make the fan experience better and we have further plans to improve the Fanzone outside Radford’s in the near future.
“While the work done has seen a significant investment from the club, I would also like to thank the Football Foundation for its support in terms of grant funding and also express my gratitude to the Hereford United Supporters’ Trust (HUST) for its 50% donation towards the cost of the new disabled toilet block.”
HUST Chairman, Richard Tomkins, commented: “The Supporters’ Trust is pleased this project is now completed ahead of the new season. We have funds set aside for this purpose, and are delighted to assist with this new infrastructure, to benefit the matchday experience of our fans”.

Before Kick-Off At Edgar Street This Afternoon
Hereford's first home game of the season took place at Edgar Street this afternoon.
Here are some pictures from before kick-off.
Downes brands three-match ban 'a bit harsh' amid injury woes
 |
| The moment Connor Kirby went down after clashing with Preston Bitemo |
Bitemo was sent off during last weekend’s fiery clash at the Tarmac Silverlands Stadium after a 50–50 with Bucks skipper Connor Kirby — an incident that sparked a melee and left the home captain with a double leg break.
Hereford appealed the decision, confident the tackle was legitimate, but the FA upheld the red card. Bitemo missed Marine, and will also be absent from Radcliffe and Worksop Town.
Downes said he firmly believed it was a fair challenge but respected the outcome.
“I still think it’s a bit harsh what’s happened to Preston,” he said after Saturday’s win over Marine. “He’s been brilliant for us.”
Downes has been unwavering since the moment the clash happened. He said both players “went in for the ball”, described the injury as “unfortunate”, and stressed that Bitemo is “not that person” — not malicious or dirty.
On Saturday in a club statement, Downes said: "I send my best wishes to Connor Kirby and hope he makes a full and quick recovery."
After the match last Saturday, he admitted that "no one likes to see that type of injury on a football pitch".
The suspension comes at a rough time for Hereford. Captain Lewis Hudson is already out for around three months, Joe Willis is sidelined, and now Bitemo is unavailable. It forced Downes into a reshuffle against Marine — and Kam Kandola stepped up with a performance his manager labelled “a real captain’s display.”
Fin Holmes is also absent with a hamstring problem, and Danny Waldron had been carrying a knock, though he was on the bench against Marine.
But despite the injury list, Downes said "everybody was excellent" against Marine, adding: "There was no real bad performance today."
He singled out Kam Kandola, the sponsors' man of the match, for praise, before adding: "It's a good job we've got players who are a little bit versatile and Kam was superb today, really good.
"A real captain's performance out there, so really pleased for him and pleased that he's done a good job because it got us a win."
Iwunze Gets Off The Mark
Harrison Iwunze's 76th minute goal was enough to ensure Hereford won their first home game of the season this afternoon.
The 19 year old loanee from Notts County had only been on the pitch eight minutes when he scored.
