Bulls stay third at present
Hereford United remain in third place in the Conference table as Stevenage failed to defeat Barnet this afternoon at Underhill.
Carlisle could only draw with Morecambe so the gap between them and the Bulls is now four points.
However Halifax will go above Hereford tomorrow if they win their game against Accrington. Their goal difference is one better than the Bulls.
The table is as follows:
Barnet 25-58
Carlisle 24-45
Hereford 24-41
Exeter 24-40
Stevenage 24-39
Halifax 22-38.
Meanwhile the gate at Hereford yesterday of 3978 was just 32 less than the equivalent game played on Boxing Day last season. It was the highest attendance at Edgar Street this season so far and was a much smaller reduction in spectators than for the game played at Exeter (against Hereford) last week where the drop in support was 514.
Todays gate at runaway leaders Barnet was 3520, a good crowd for Underhill, but Carlisle must be disappointed that they only managed to attract 6751 to their game. There was a higher gate of 6772 when Hereford United played at Brunton Park back in October.
