Next weekend, Hereford will entertain Anstey Nomads in the FA Cup - and the visitors say it will be their biggest-ever away match.

The step four side, based on the outskirts of Leicester, are encouraging fans to make the trip to Edgar Street saying "The Nomads need you".

Prices are to be confirmed, but the club said: "Away days don’t get bigger than this one!

"Don’t miss out on our biggest-ever away fixture and reserve your2 space on the coach."

The side, who ply their trade in the Northern Premier League Division One Midlands and play at Cropston Road, reached the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup last season.

After a convincing 5-0 win at home to Shefford Town and Campton in the third qualifying round, they bowed out in a 3-0 defeat also at home to National League side Chesterfield.

For their six home games of the current season, their average attendance is 208.

That includes 195 for their 2-1 win in the FA Cup Preliminary Round against Eastwood Community and the same number for their 3-0 win over Hanley Town in the first qualifying round, according to Football Web Pages.

It's their first season at step four, having been promoted as champions from the United Counties League Premier Division North last season.
