Improvements to Blackfriars End

Graham Turner has said that there will be limited improvements to the Blackfriars End of Edgar Street.

"At this time, we are also getting deep into conversation again with the Richardsons and, following discussions at our Civic Reception with councillors, have had a meeting at Edgar Street to determine further what may take place at the Meadow End and the Blackfriars End," Turner told the Hereford Times.

"At the present time, all we can do is patch up. We do not want to go to great expense for something that may only be there for 18 months or two years.

"The flat area at the Blackfriars End will be resurfaced, some new barriers put in and toilets will be renovated and improved.

"I realise, of course, that these are only the basics that people would expect on going to any sporting venue.

"At the same time, what we do not want to do is put too much into ground improvements and see them demolished in 18 months’ time.

"There is also the cost of the renovation of the pitch. It has been improving gradually over recent seasons and I expect it to be in absolutely tip-top condition by kick-off time."
