Not Hereford's day
Hereford United were defeated 4-0 by Exeter City this afternoon at St James Park.
The score line slightly flattered the Grecians as three of the goals were fortunate to say the least and the Bulls came more into the game in the second half.
The attendance of 4280 was down on last year's fixture which took place on New Year's Day. That match brought 4943 spectators through the turnstiles. Today 300 Bulls fans made the trip to Exeter, about fifty more than last year. It appears that the call by some Bulls fans to boycott the game had little effect.
Meanwhile reports on the Official Hereford United site that the coach did not arrive at the ground until 12.30pm are totally incorrect. The players arrived at St James at 11.55am and were out on the pitch shortly afterwards.
