Hereford deserve to go up says Wright

Hereford deserve to go up is the title of a piece in today's Non-League Paper. The Chester manager Mark Wright gave a long interview to the paper before yesterday's game at Edgar Street.

"Hereford United gave my Chester team such a titanic championship battle that I hope they follow us up into the Football League by winning the Conference play-offs. I made a point of sending United manager a text after we had beaten Scarborough to win the title wishing his side all the best in the play-offs - and I sincerely meant it," said Wright.

"If I had to pick a winner I have got to say that Hereford deserve to be in the Third Division next season after all they have achieved this season. They came so close to going up automatically, scoring more than 100 goals and with their magnificent support they should be a League club.

"United play free-flowing football, have a strong defence and certainly know how to score with Steve Guinan their danger man up front and David Brown providing the quality.

"Graham Turner has done such an exceptional job for Hereford. It is his club and if any manager deserves to win promotion it's him. Hereford need to go up this year after what they have done because it will be so hard for them playing Conference football next season if they don't."

He also says that Shrewsbury are the big threat to the Bulls and he thinks that they will meet in the final.
