It's Been A Tough Season For Fans Admits Richards


Marc Richards believes Hereford are starting to turn a corner and that they are no longer a 'team in transition'.

Speaking to the Vanarama National League, Richards says he understands fans' frustrations and just how tough a season it's been for them.

“It has been really tough for the supporters this season, I can totally understand how frustrating it’s been,” he told the National League’s Oli Osborn.

“But hopefully they can see what we’re trying to do and hopefully they can see things are beginning to get better.

“Come and support us, come and get behind us. We want to do so well for the fans and get ourselves away from where we are and up the table.

“It was never going to change just like that, it will need time.

“It’s been a bit of a struggle at times. We have had a lot of players coming in and a lot of players going out - it’s not been easy but we didn’t expect it to be.

“When a new manager comes in with the position the club was in then you become a team in transition for quite a while.

“I was prepared for that but I think now we’re starting to show that we’re perhaps coming out the other side now.”

Apart from Boxing Day's game against Kidderminster Harriers, the thoughts among supporters are that the performances have improved over recent weeks, with the Bulls seventh in the form table over the past four games.

Richards said that it's the three points that mattered on Wednesday and he's pleased that the team dug in and ground out a result.

“To hear the stadium erupt when we scored our winning goal against Kidderminster was a great feeling,” Richards added.

“It wasn’t vintage by any stretch of the imagination but it was all about getting those three points and that’s all that matters.

“We actually didn’t play as well as we have been in the last four or five games but it’s about winning and we did that.

“There were positive signs against Kidderminster. When a team is digging in and getting a result like that it sends a really positive message out."
