Following a ten day break, Hereford FC are back to business tomorrow with a Southern League South and West fixture at Bishops Cleeve.
It's unusual that Hereford haven't got a game today. Obviously there was no game on Boxing Day 2014 as there was no club but the decision to play tomorrow is understood to have been requested by Bishops Cleeve. They are hoping to have some stewards who usually work at Cheltenham and with a home game at Whaddon Road this afternoon that wasn't feasible.

With both Tiverton and Evesham playing this afternoon, Hereford's lead at the top of the table could be cut to seven points.
However whilst 3rd placed Evesham should defeat Shortwood, Tiverton have a potentially difficult game at Taunton who are in 7th place and have only lost one League game at home so far this season.
As regards tomorrow, Hereford manager Peter Beadle will be hopeful that both Jamie Molyneux and Clayton Fortune will have recovered from knocks sustained in the last game against Yate.
However he will be without Pablo Haysham who is suspended.
The club held a behind closed doors 'game' last Thursday, believed to have been against Pegasus, to give players who have not featured much lately some game time. Whether Beadle will have been impressed enough to promote any players to the squad for tomorrow remains to be seen.
Bishops Cleeve are 14th in the table. However they have won four of their last five matches.
1500 tickets are reported to have been sold for the game and no tickets will be available tomorrow.
