Thankyou very much Hereford...

...because due to their show-stoppingly 19th century facilities, there will be NO full match commentary on the game.

Everyone involved has literally pulled up trees to make the coverage the best possible, but due to some insurmountable problems (and despite the best efforts of the MOST helpful staff in the Football League) it proved to be impossible to plug our broadcast gear into THIN AIR!

So I'm afraid you'll have to put up with superior-quality mobile phone updates...

Once again. thankyou very much Hereford United...

Dan · 27-10-2006, 08:48

And yes, I know that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit...

I emailed them yesterday morning about the mascot and they still haven't got back to me!

Backward sheep s****** bas****s. That my afternoon buggered.

Dan, how do I get mobile updates......

Dan · 27-10-2006, 10:42

Quite simply listen as normal, enjoy the music (!) and wait to hear an update from me, on my mobile phone, in the crowd...!
Once more, my sarcastic tone made mobile phone updates sound far more technical than they actually are!!!

accymel · 27-10-2006, 10:59

Bloody hell & people call our ground for its facilities, oh jeepers looks like its going to be another wonder what the scores is & the beeb is so far behind

Was just about to post the same.
Instead of moaning about HUFC facilities,which incidentally,are light years ahead of your slum,why don't you get off your whippet worrying asses & support your team.
Tinpot,as ever.
p.s. Please try & gag the more vocal element of your management team.He makes himself,your club & fans look pathetic in the eyes of every team you play.

I see well thought out banter between fans even happens in the lower divisions

Fortunately, our 19th century facilities include COVERED accommadation for up to 2500 visiting fans. Also, before you mention it, the toilets were upgraded during the summer and the catering facilities improved. In the event of an eclipse of the sun, our floodlights are bright enough for the spectators to see the whole of the pitch. We also have had a couple of games when we have been unable to receive commentry from away games but this seems to cause little distress because our fans actually go to the games.

Enjoy.

There are rules that every new club which enters the Football League have to abide by when it comes to press facilities. And although it may not seem it to some, Stanley are lightyears ahead of Hereford when it comes to the technical media facilities that the Fraser Eagle Stadium has to offer to its press.

Not everyone can get to football matches week in a week out due to work commitments or being abroad and radio stations give those people the chance to follow their team no matter where the listener's are. I'm sure if they could be at Hereford on Saturday they would be!

Stanley are lucky in that they have upto three commercial radio stations following their results week in and out, not including the BBC.

When we were in the Conference Stanley had two commercial stations following them this is compared to NO commercial stations covering the likes of Hereford. Unfortunately for them this is a bad thing as they play a key role in both the publicity side of things for matches, news and coverage!!! Which in turn creates extra revenue for the club!!

P.S Your stands may be covered but from last season one end was condemned (according to several stewards) and the other was blocked by MASSIVE and I mean MASSIVE stantions holding up the other stand to the point that you were ducking and diving throughout the match to see anything happening!

Bazf · 27-10-2006, 13:03

As noted on other threads the fans in league 2 have come on here and have had valid comments and some banter, in fact as mentioned more the once how nice compared with the fans in the conference, then ................. Hereford Utd........whats changed in the land of sheep sha gging and inter family marriage, same old inter breed were better then you etc etc. Oh remember, who won the league?

John_Timmins · 27-10-2006, 13:16

your stand may be covered but its pretty pointless when you cant see the majority of the pitch!!!

the main differences is that at our club we have meetings to deceide which areas to develop, you just have meetings on which areas to condem

I've been trying recently to find the radio stations of the team that Stanley are playing, just in case it's being covered on their local station. So far i haven't managed to find any live feeds for ASFC away games, but i'll keep trying.

BBC - Hereford and Worcester - Sport - Sport Audio: Hereford United
