Replay expected to be on the Wednesday

The FA Cup third round replay between Hereford United and Tranmere Rovers is expected to be on the Wednesday of next week, January 16th.

Yesterday BBC Hereford and Worcester reported the Wednesday as being the date after information from journalist Laurie Teague who is close to the club.

Following police intervention, Hereford United's next League Two game against local rivals Shrewsbury Town is on Sunday and so a gap of just 48 hours (to Tuesday) is unfair when Tranmere would have a 96 hour break.

Luckily Hereford do not have a mid-week game this coming week whereas Tranmere have a game this Tuesday away against Leyton Orient and at Prenton Park next Friday evening when Bristol Rovers are the visitors.

Confirmation of the replay date is expected tomorrow morning.

Finally a reminder that the draw for the Fourth Round of the Cup is tomorrow (Monday) at 1.30pm. It is Sky, BBC Two and FiveLive.
