| The Last Time The Two Clubs Met Was On August 22nd - 310 Watched That Game |
Rocester manager Mark Wilson is pleading for locals to turn out and support his squad when they take on Hereford FC in the FA Vase tomorrow.
"As far as I'm concerned it's the biggest tie around," Wilson told the Burton Mail.
"We're playing the favourites for the Vase.
"I'm pleading with the locals to come down tomorrow and cheer the Rocester lads on.
"We
want the local fans to come down and cheer on a side in good form.
We've seen with last season's League Cup final the support we can get.
"We know that every time Hereford play at home, they might put
another £25,000 or £30,000 into the club with their attendances. We
might put £25 or £30 into ours.
"Our preparations haven't been
great with not playing for two Saturdays in a row, and we had a friendly
against Chesterfield cancelled in the week which I'm disappointed at."
Earlier this season Hereford won a league game at Rocester 4-3, after the home side took a 3-0 lead early in the first half.
"Revenge will not be on the lads' minds," said Wilson. "I've scuppered that from their minds already.
"They're the form side in the division at the moment and we should be fresh – we want to be quick out of the traps.
"We're not going to sit back. We'll give it a real go and the players want to do that too.
"I'm confident that, on our A-game, we can beat anyone in our division."
