Hereford FC Chairman Jon Hale has told the Hereford Times the club's Safety Certificate may not be in place until Friday morning.
Herefordshire Council are reported to be finalising the document with Hale quoted as saying: "It could even be Friday morning, but we're quite safe in the knowledge that it won't be any lower than the 4,500 tickets that we're aiming to sell but it could go up even more."
The Council told the paper: "Herefordshire Council is currently processing Hereford Football Club’s general safety certificate application. The certificate will be issued to them ahead of Saturday’s game subject to the last pieces of documentation being received by the council.
"We are in constant dialogue with the club and are confident that everything we require will be in place in good time.”
