Tomorrow sees the first ever fixture between South Shields and Hereford.
And manager Julio Arca feels it will be a big test for his side which is unbeaten at home.
“Hereford are probably not in the position they want to be in the table, but they have won their last three games and have signed some good players recently," said Arca.
“They seem to be in good physical shape and are pressing high, so they are going to provide a big test for us.
“We have confidence every time we step out at 1st Cloud Arena, and it is excellent to still have a 100% home record, but we must put in another strong performance to have a chance of collecting the three points."
Arca is hopeful he will have a fully-fit squad to select from. Recently illness has effected many of the players.
