In advance of the game, manager Graham Turner was interviewed by Russell Fuller for BBC Five-Live.
Fuller started by suggesting this is it:
"Well exactly, we've worked very hard over three or four seasons to get to this point and we don't plan to let it slip now. But it has been hard work and there has been a lot of heartbreak along the way," said the Hereford United manager.
Fuller then reminded Turner about that day when the Bulls went out of the League:
"Well the emotion was incredible. I've never seen so many grown men cry and I think it just emphasis the importance of a football club, even small clubs at this level, do mean a lot to the supporters.
"It's obviously taken us a lot of time to get to a position to go back and regain our League status but behind the scenes there's been a lot of imporovements in the club. Our financial position is now very stable and we feel we are ready to go forward again and going forward for us is to regain our League status.
"What's made you stay with Hereford through that nine year period in exile?" asked Fuller.
"The chairman wanted to get out then and players were not being paid so I did a stupid thing and bought his shares. So I've been the major shareholder for quite some time. And when you get to that point, it's not like any other manager where you can just walk away from the club. You become entrenched in it, its whole future, its whole survival.
"I felt that having been the manager when we were relegated, I've owed the club something. I've owed the supporters something and I'm hoping that tomorrow it will all be repaid.
Fuller then talked about Turner being a major shareholder with his cash involved in the club also making the decisions of a manager and chairman.
"Well that's been quite easy. The money's not there to spend - we don't spend it. I can get no pressure from the manager because I fill both roles. And the manager at Hereford realises that there is no money available.
"I think over the eleven year period I've been there I've spent £20,000 and we've probably taken in a million pounds in the transfer market, and that has helped the club to survive.
"So there's been no pressure in that respect.
"What has been pleasing has been the reaction of the supporters. They've realised the predicament of the club financially. I've never felt pressure to sign another player or go and buy a player. We've lived within our means.
"The last two financial years we've made very decent profits and it's a credit to everybody involved in the club."
Fuller asked about the number of fans going to the Walkers Stadium.
"I would be disappointed now if we don't top the ten thousand mark. We've sold over eight thousand at the club and I understand from Leicester that they have sold quite a few to our supporters. Even on the day there will be a lot turning up there.
"That for a club in the Conference is a tremendous following. It's an indication just how high the supporters feel for the club."
"Did you think you might be facing Grays?" asked Fuller.
"Well they've had a tremendous season. They've retained the Trophy. I think Grays were everybodies favourites but I have got to say Chris Wilder at Halifax has done a magnificent job because their club was in a right state two or three years ago and he's turned the whole thing around.
"We know it's going to be difficult. They've got some good players - threats in certain areas but we've had a good season. We've had a good three seasons, finishing runners-up in each of them.
"Any other division that's success. Any other division the club would have been promoted but unfortunately in ours it means the play-offs.
"But it's going to be a tough game, but we just feel now we are ready to go forward."
Asked how life will change if you make it:
"I think the whole atmosphere will change. Right at the moment the city is buzzing. But you look at the financial implication - we would have at least six local derbies Shrewsbury, Chester, Bristol Rovers, Swindon, clubs like that. So that would be a massive boost to our income to have matches of that calibra. There's a lot more money comes into the Football League. So financially we would be okay.
"Pride wise it would be immense for the city, for the county and all our supporters."
