Well worth the hassle of the M 25
To watch Hereford United put on a display of football in line with their best away performamces last season made the trip to Canvey so worthwhile, even if most of the Hereford area based supporters had a nightmare journey back home.
With severe congestion on the M25, some supporters took alternative routes. But few returned home without some delay.
It was disappointing not to see a larger home following at the match. The gate was given as 921, but at the end of the game there were probably more Hereford fans in the ground as a fair proportion of Canvey supporters had left early.
After the game Canvey manager, Jeff King, that his side had been well beaten.
"Hereford looked a very good side, probably the best we've faced in the league this season," King told the Non-League Paper.
John Trewick, the Hereford United coach, was delighted with the result.
"We fully deserved our success today and it was a good all-round team effort.
"We were very dominant in the opening half and should have led by more than 2-0 at the interval. They changed the way they were playing at half-time without really troubling us.
"But we'll settle for four and look to build on this after our recent bad run in the Conference."
Danny Williams also spoke about the game to BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"A good result. Everybody has played their part. Superb goal from Millsy.
Describing his goal Williams continued: "Stansfield came down the right and put it on a plate for me. Good finish, good goal.
Talking about Adam Stansfield's part in the game Williams said: "He could have had a hatrick today.
"He had a couple of chances before he scored and he's done well in the end to get his goals."
