More Hereford pressure on the Radcliffe goal as the second half went on. And maybe Hereford were unlucky to be awarded a penalty when Matt Preston appeared to have been brought down.

Hereford came out with much more purpose in the second half of yesterday's game at Radcliffe. On balance they were probably unlucky not to get a goal back after the home side took the lead on 18 minutes. And, maybe, they had a claim for hand ball. Some pictures:  

A brand-new team coach carrying King’s Lynn Town was attacked after Monday’s game at Chorley – with rocks shattering a rear window and leaving it off the road. The shocking incident happened shortly after Chorley beat the visitors 4-0, when a group of youths pelted the bus as it prepared to leave. The coach had only just made its first trip for the family-run Sleafordian Coaches, which had invested heavily in the new vehicle. In a statement, the company said: “Yesterday should have been a proud day for us. Sadly, that pride turned into upset when a small group of young Chorley ‘supporters’ decided to attack our coach. They shattered a rear window, which means our new vehicle is now off the road until costly repairs are made.” The firm added that while most fans follow their clubs with “passion and respect”, the behaviour of a handful caused unnecessary stress for the driver, disrupted their workload and could have led to serious injury. It said: “This was not just about damage to a coach, it could have caused serious injury to the players or our driver. No one should feel unsafe simply for travelling home after a football match.” The company said it was forced to arrange a replacement vehicle and driver at short notice on a bank holiday, adding to the financial burden. It also criticised the lack of security around the ground and confirmed CCTV footage has been passed to police. “If you’re angry about the result, taking it out on us achieves nothing. Please remember: it’s not clubs or players you hurt, but ordinary families and small businesses trying to do their job.” Despite the setback, the company said the coach will be repaired and back on the road soon, thanking fans who had already sent messages of support. “Football should bring people together. Rivalries belong on the pitch, not in car parks, not on vehicles, and never against the people just doing their jobs.”

A few pictures from the first half of yesterday's game between Radcliffe and Hereford.  

Two players have left Edgar Street after boss Paul Caddis promised to ship players out to free up money. That, he said, would allow him to bring in new players to bolster his squad after four losses in their opening five matches of the season. On Tuesday, the club announced Chris Wreh and Kai Williams had left. In a one-line comment, Caddis said: “I’d like to thank both players for their efforts in the short time they spent with us, and I wish both Chris and Kai the best for the future.”

Peter Isaac and Hereford mayor Dan Powell Former Hereford United player and caretaker boss Peter Isaac has been made a Freedom of the City. Hereford City Council said it was for his dedication to the Edgar Street club since first joining them in 1960. Born William Henry Isaac in 1935, he went on to have a long and storied career. In the summer of 1960 the then Hereford manager Joe Wade persuaded Isaac to sign for the Bulls and in the next eight years he made a total of 353 appearances for the club, including 258 Southern League games. According to Talking Bull, his most notable performances arose against higher-graded opposition in the FA Cup. Isaac was outstanding in the Bulls 1-0 FA Cup win over Third Division leaders Millwall, and in an earlier 1-1 away draw with Bristol City in the same competition. He also played in both legs of the Welsh Cup Final against Cardiff City in 1968.  The match at Ninian Park in May 1968 turned out to be his last appearance for the Bulls before a move to Worcester City. Isaac spent twelve months at St George’s Lane before linking up with Kidderminster Harriers.  However, Isaac returned to Edgar Street as trainer in July 1970 becoming John Charles’ right hand man, and when Hereford were elected to the Football League two years later he became a full-time member of the staff.  He completed over 30 seasons at Edgar Street as player, coach, physiotherapist, trainer and caretaker-manager. Indeed, that included over 23 consecutive years as one of the club's backroom boys. He served with thirteen managers; Joe Wade, Ray Daniel, Bob Dennison, John Charles, Colin Addison, John Sillett, Tony Ford, Mike Bailey, Frank Lord, Tommy Hughes, John Newman, Ian Bowyer and Greg Downs.  Now aged 90, Isaac remains a proud supporter of the club he served for more than three decades. The title of Honorary Freeman is the highest honour a City Council can bestow. Hereford City Council may admit “persons of distinction and persons who have in the opinion of the Council, rendered eminent services to the City”, as Honorary Freemen.  Graham Turner, the former United owner, chairman and manager, is also one of the current freemen of the city having been honoured in 2010.

A few photos from before and after the game between Radcliffe and Hereford yesterday.  

It was a Manc Holiday Monday to forget for the Bulls as they lost their 4th game out of 5 at the hands of Radcliffe. Not quite the reaction Paul Caddis would have wanted following the self-proclaimed ‘pathetic’ performance on Saturday against Chorley.   The Bulls lined up as follows: Richardson, Skinner, Preston, Howkins, Hudson, Richards, D’ath, Edwards, Nto, Sterling-James, Campbell  Once again Hereford started on the back foot and Radcliffe maintained the majority of possession in the opening 10 minutes or so without really doing much with it. It was on that 10 minute mark where the first shot of the afternoon was struck by Olly Thornley but it was straight at Richardson. A couple of minutes later the Bulls threatened for the first time in the game as a beautiful flick over the defender from I-Lani Edwards allowed him to cut the ball back to Skinner on the edge of the box but his shot was poor to say the least.  A flurry of Radcliffe set pieces then came along which initially were well defended. But on the 17th minute an Anthony Dudley corner found the foot of Rick Smith who tapped home to make it 1-0 to Boro.   The Bulls needed a reaction but in truth failed to do so and Radcliffe looked more like making it 2 than Hereford levelling things up. That was until the 35th minute where Lawson D’ath used some tidy feet to get a shot off but it struck Remaye Campbell before trickling through to Hewelt in the Boro net, summing up Hereford’s first half in front of goal.   A couple of half chances then for Nto and Edwards saw a lacklustre first half peter out with the Bulls never really looking a threat.  The second half however began with the Bulls putting the ball in the back of the net through an Omari Sterling-James corner but Kyle Howkins was deemed to have fouled the keeper so that one was ruled out.  A few minutes later D’ath played a beautiful ball out wide to Nto who beat his man and put in a pinpoint cross to substitute Andy Williams who chose to go for a diving header which was wayward.  Radcliffe then reduced the Bulls to long range efforts mainly, with Richards and Osborne both firing over, but there was a real struggle from Hereford to create anything clear cut, a theme of the season so far.  On the 87th minute the home side almost doubled their lead when a low cross from Sargent was played across the Bulls box as Matt Preston was down and David Ball got a deft touch on it but it just went wide of the post.  Ball then had another chance two minutes later when he took a long ball down and drove towards goal but Richardson was equal to the effort.  The Bulls continued to huff and puff looking for that equaliser and in the 96th minute Sterling-James had a free kick in a great position, but unfortunately his effort went high over the bar, causing him to be frustrated.  Only a minute later though he got another chance which ended up being the best one of the game, when a loose ball fell to him on the edge of the box and he caught a volley sweetly, forcing Hewelt into a great save. That was the only shot on target for Hereford in the whole game, worrying.  And that was all she wrote on another disappointing Hereford performance. They struggled to create anything of note yet again and still looked shaky defensively at times although better than Saturday.  Second half, Richards and D’ath controlled the game really well and were probably the two only bright sparks in the game. There was a real lack of composure in the final third, a lot of it felt rushed and desperate towards the end of the game. Also, Radcliffe just looked like they wanted it more than us which is concerning.  Not going to dwell on it too much as we all know changes need to and will be made. An interesting week ahead and hopefully we can get a result on Saturday as things will get very sour if not. By Jack Pugh

Hereford chairman Chris Ammonds has called on supporters to get behind the club after a poor start to the season. With a 1-0 defeat at Radcliffe on bank holiday Monday only adding to the Bulls' woes, Ammonds said on X (formerly Twitter) that there are obvious challenges facing the club. However, he said they will be tackled head on and that corner will be easier to turn if fans get behind the club. With Hereford 23rd in the Enterprise National League North season with only one win from their opening five match, Paul Caddis has already vowed changes to the squad. He said players will be leaving the club this week to free up cash for reinforcements.

Hereford boss Paul Caddis has vowed to swing the axe this week as he battles to turn around his struggling Bulls. Caddis, whose side slipped to a fourth defeat in five games with Monday’s 1-0 loss at Radcliffe, said players will be shipped out of Edgar Street to free up cash for new faces. And he admitted the clear-out would already have begun if it wasn’t a bank holiday. "I'll move a few out," he said, adding: "I've made my mind up, absolutely. "It's not a knee-jerk reaction because we lost today, but it was something that's been building up. I don't think we've quite got the reaction from players that were hoping for.  "There's a lot of players that have been picking up little niggling injuries and, to be brutally honest, we can't carry players like that. We can't carry players that are just going to pick up little injuries here and there." While not naming players who would be leaving, Caddis said Madou Cisse - the midfielder on a season-long loan from Notts County - was struggling, as were striker Chris Wreh and Eno Nto, and midfielder Kai Williams. He said: "It's not an excuse at all. I don't want it to look like that. It's me just being honest." The deflated Scot even questioned some of the players he kept on from last season and, having lost four out of five games, said "it's going to have to change". Fans have questioned whether the problem lies with coaching as Caddis was ultimately responsible for recruitment, and he didn’t shy away from the criticism. When this was put to him, he said: "They're absolutely 100% right, so, what do I do? Just try and hide behind an ego and think they'll come good or do I act? "Some of the recruitment I've brought in hasn't worked." On potential new signings before Alfreton visit Edgar Street on Saturday, Caddis added: "I'm now at the stage where I don't want to wait. I don't want to just keep waiting and waiting, and waiting to see who's available to come in. I need to act now. "I need to have funds to go and change the momentum of the season."

A deflated Hereford boss Paul Caddis has said errors are costing his side as they fell to their fourth defeat in the opening five games of the season. A 1-0 defeat at Radcliffe only adds to the Bulls' woes as they lie second bottom of the Enterprise National League North table, and have the joint-worse strike force and defence in the league. In the 17th minute, an Anthony Dudley corner found an unmarked Rick Smith to put past Theo Richardson and the Bulls couldn't find a way back. "Not the result we wanted, I wanted I want to win," Caddis said. "The second half I thought we played really well, first half in spells, we passed the ball properly and second half created some decent chances. "But conceded a set piece. When you do that it's difficult to try and peg team like Radcliffe back who are physical and well drilled; really, really deflated, to be honest." He said errors are costing his side at the moment and that comes down to him as manager as it's a group that he put together so it comes down to him. "I'll always protect the dressing room, that's my job," Caddis added. "What happens inside there stays inside. I will never come out and individually slaughter someone. I've came out and and said the performance [against Chorley] was pathetic, but why should I bother lying to people? That's the truth. "I didn't criticise any individuals, I said collectively. When I'm criticising, I'm at the top of that. I'm at the very top of that. So, first and foremost, all the criticism should come my way. It's me. I've built the team, I've made the decisions. I've made the subs. Ultimately, it's down to me."

For the second season running there was trouble after the end of the game between Radcliffe and Hereford. A few Supporters from both clubs seemed intent on having more than a few words. The trouble continued over the road from the stadium and onto a nearby playing field.

A look back to August 25th 2003 and one of those games at Edgar Street that many will remember to this day: Bulls leave bumper crowd elated  Hereford United 4 - 3 Aldershot Town When Hereford went 2-0 down on nine minutes, it looked as if Aldershot Town had this game wrapped up but a series of twists meant Hereford United emerged 4-3 victors with a late, late goal. Billed as the first six-pointer of the Nationwide Conference campaign, the game didn't fail to satisfy the bumper crowd of 4,985 at Edgar Street, which is the biggest league attendance since Hereford's relegation to the non-league game in 1997. They also leap-frog today's opponents back to the summit of the league. It could have gone the other way, though, as Tony James scored the first goal on five minutes - in his own net. A deep cross from the right channel from Nick Roddis fell to James, and his attempted clearance cruely crept past Matt Baker to put the Shots ahead. Four minutes later, Aldershot broke from a United attack and Tim Sills drew Baker out of his area before rounding him and slotting the ball into an empty net. At that point, the Bulls could have few complaints but they slowly came back into the game and had levelled by the break. First, Ben Smith was brought down just outside the penalty area and Nikki Bull stood no chance in their goal as Danny Williams' fierce free-kick hit the back of the net. Ben Smith threaded a good ball through the Shots defence to Rob Purdie on thirty-six, but Bull got to it first as United searched for the equaliser, and four minutes later a Paul Parry cross from the Hereford left was nodded inches over by Danny Williams who was just four yards from goal. However, Purdie fed Michael Rose in injury time, and on the turn his long-range effort levelled proceedings. Aldershot withdrew goalkeeper Bull at the break for Richard Barnard after an argument in the dressing room, and the replacement brought down Ben Smith three minutes into the second half. Tony James, ready to redeem himself from his earlier own-goal, stepped up but Barnard pushed the ball away to his right. However, he had moved off his line and the referee, Mr. R. Lewis, had no option but to order a retake. This time, James made no mistake as he fired into the roof of the net. Both Danny Williams and Steve Guinan went close as the game wore on, but Aldershot scored again with twenty-two minutes to gol. Released by a long ball from the left channel, Aaron McLean fired a low shot across Baker's goal and in off the post. The 440 away fans were delighted, and almost saw Roscoe D'Sane put their side ahead when his curling effort from outside the box went wide. Tim Sills also nodded a ball wide from ten yards out after a later cross from the left. Then, another twist, as D'Sane was dismissed for a second bookable offence for a challenge, which was slammed by irate Shots manager Terry Brown. Nevertheless, they must have felt they had done enough for a point, but it wasn't to be. In the third minute of injury time, a Michael Rose corner from the right was flicked on to find substitute David Brown at the far post. He fired the ball into the net from inside the six yard box to send Hereford top.  Written by Terry Goodwin - 25th August 2003.

Lewis --- Late goal in the name of entertainment! Scorer of Hereford United's second goal, Michael Rose, was exhilerated after beating Aldershot Town 4-3. "We've got to keep everyone entertained," he joked of the injury-time goal. "We've done really well and it was disappointing to concede three goals but we battled really well to come out on top. "They caused us a few problems but it's nothing we haven't dealt with before. They looked a decent side but we were the better team on the day." Talking to BBC Hereford & Worcester, he said of his own goal: "I got the ball and just hit it. I didn't think it was going in but as I looked up, it was! "We put a lot of pressure on them in the second half. They had one chance and they scored from it, but we kept going." Aldershot boss Terry Brown was annoyed to have lost the match in injury time and in the process surrender top-spot in the league. "We're just disappointed to have lost a very close encounter," he said. "I thought they were brilliant at times and played good football." "This game sums up just why we're delighted to be in the Conference," he said. "It was a fantastic football match and I thought it had everything. However, the switching of goalkeepers at half-time came after a bust-up with Nikki Bull. "There's only room for one gaffer in the dressing room - and that's me," proclaimed Brown, who was also angry at his side's red card. "I thought the Roscoe D'Sane sending-off was diabolical. He didn't make contact with the man or the ball." United manager Graham Turner was delighted with the outcome. "That was one of the most exciting matches in the eight years I've been at Edgar Street," he said. "Everything we did wrong was exposed in the first ten minutes, but we stuck at it." Last chance to score After yesterday's game David Brown, who came on as a sub, told the Western Daily Press how he produced the superb overhead kick that won the match for the Bulls. "It was an instinctive thing to do," said Brown."I knew it was the last chance to score in a fantastic game." Reflecting on the game Brown pointed out Hereford produced a great fightback after going two down in the first nine minutes and deserved victory. "At two down many other teams would have crumbled, but we have a good team spirit and that carried us through," said Brown. Hereford director of football Graham Turner was up-beat about the fightback by his young players. "The game had everything and I am delighted. Tony James kept his nerve when he took the penalty for the second time. "Aldershot are no mugs and have some useful players but the manner in which we won was excellent."  Where were you? Fifteen more supporters through the gate would have given a 5,000 attendance figure yesterday at Edgar Street, which was double the next highest crowd of the day, that at Woking. It was also the highest in the Conference so far this season. It was also United's highest crowd for a league match since 1997, and any match since 1999, when Leicester City were the opponents in the FA Cup. And there can't have been a supporter for either team that could have complained at the excitement of the game, which was surely one of the best, if not the best, at the ground since Hereford joined the Conference. The match had everything, goals, a re-taken penalty, a bust up in the Shots dressing room at half-time, yellow cards galore, and a red one near the end. Yet it wasn't a dirty match and a number of cards given were for enthusiatic challenges more than real fouls. Those fans who set off for the ground at their normal time were faced with queue of ten to fifteen minutes to gain entrance!   

Hereford's away game at Radcliffe this afternoon is being broadcast by DAZN TV. However as usual both Radio Hereford FC and BBC Hereford and Worcester will have live coverage of the game.  BN will have team news, half time and full time short reports and afterwards reaction, report and pictures. 

Merton Meadow car park was full as Hereford played King's Lynn earlier this month but it is set to become a wetland There are just days left to have your say on the plan to turn the northern section of the Merton Meadow car park into a wetland. Designed as a flood alleviation scheme, the project has already received planning permission despite concerns over the effect it could have on Hereford FC. Herefordshire Council's consultation closes on 31st August, and feedback received will help shape the design of a "pioneering" new 400-home urban village across the southern section of the car park, next to the MandM Edgar Street Stadium. 'Wasteland to wetland' In a video promoting the consultation, Herefordshire Council referred to the northern section of the car park as "wasteland" - despite the fact it is well-used on matchdays and by coaches and lorries. "This is a unique opportunity to influence what the new neighbourhood could look like — from the types of homes and community facilities to the amenities and green spaces that will support a vibrant, sustainable future," a council spokesperson said. Explaining the flood alleviation scheme, they said it will use a "network of wetlands and water channels to manage high rainfall events, will create new habitats for wildlife and public spaces for all to enjoy". They added it will also help "drainage capacity for up to 400 new homes, paving the way for an environmentally led transformation of the area". Fears for Bulls as parking cut looms As first reported by Bulls News, during the 30th July planning committee that approved the wetland scheme with conditions, Independents for Herefordshire councillor Matthew Engel (Golden Valley South) said he was “very dubious” the lost parking could be replaced. However, separately, a multi-storey car park has been mooted for the bus station in Commercial Road. Cllr Engel feared the wetlands could also hamper Hereford FC, adding: “We have to take into account that Hereford United FC were, in their day, the most famous thing this county had. I think this will have an adverse effect on them ever being such a thing again.” Planning officer Heather Carlisle’s report said that while spaces would go, Hereford’s car parks had capacity to absorb them, with surveys showing Merton Meadow averaged just 38 per cent occupancy between April 2022 and April 2024. She added that land north of the link road would be retained for coach and lorry parking. But with work due to begin in September – only weeks into the new National League North season – that will be little comfort to fans wanting to park close to Edgar Street in one of the council's cheapest city car parks. Lib Dem councillor Polly Andrews (Widemarsh) welcomed the flood alleviation benefits, but Conservative councillor Robert Highfield (Castle) feared the wetlands could prove too popular as a visitor attraction and become a victim of its own success. Hereford fan Colin Butler has also been vocal in his opposition to the plans for Merton Meadow, saying he has great concerns over the baffling housing vision and the thought of a new multi-storey on the bus station is flawed.

Jason Cowley With A Shot That Went Wide At Radcliffe Last Season Hereford are priced at around 21/10 to take all three points at Radcliffe tomorrow. On Saturday Hereford lost their home game against Chorley 4-1. Radcliffe lost 2-1 at Leamington. Currently Hereford are 21st with three points from four games, Radcliffe are 18th also with three points from four games. However Radcliffe's goal difference is -3 whist Hereford's is -6.  Radcliffe 13/10  Draw 5/2  Hereford 21/10 

Andy Williams is a perfect example to the rest of squad, Caddis has said Hereford boss Paul Caddis won't buy excuses from his players that they're tired, with five games in 15 days. For the former Celtic icon, tiredness is a mindset and players just need to pull their socks up. Just 48 hours after being sunk 4-1 at home by a ruthless Chorley, Hereford travel to Radcliffe. Looking ahead to the game in his post-match interview on Saturday, Caddis told BBC Hereford and Worcester's Carson Wishart that off the back of the pathetic showing at home, a reaction was needed. "There's no two ways about it, we need a reaction," he said. "If we don't get one then we've got issues. There's something that I'm going to have to look at. We need to get Monday out the way, it's difficult as it's coming so quick. But we, I, recognise we need to make changes." Caddis was asked whether he'd stick with the formation and make changes, with 39-year-old striker Andy Williams playing the full 90 minutes at Buxton and against Chorley.  "I'd love to, honestly, right now I'm not even thinking about that. Just obviously we just got over that.  "Willo's done really well and and he's a perfect example to the rest of the players in the dressing room. Tiredness, for me, is a mindset.  "You're a long time retired in this game. Tiredness is a mindset. I'm not buying it. I won't buy it. I won't buy tiredness. "I won't buy the 'I'm sore' and all the rest of it. Get on with it. "There's people that pay good money to come and watch you, get on with it. Pull your socks up. I'm not buying it at all, I'm not buying tiredness. "I can understand in terms of Willo with his age and stuff like that, but Willo's still as fit as the rest, still gives everything. You can see he's still going to the end there. "It's something we'll look at." Ahead of tomorrow's game, Caddis will be waiting to see whether Chris Wreh - the former Banbury, Southend, Hartlepool United and Tamworth striker - will be fit. Other players to not play on Saturday included I-Lani Edwards, Preston Bitemo, Kai Williams, Notts County loanee Madou Cisse and the injured Gus Mafuta.

The sides coming out at Radcliffe when Hereford travelled there in January Hereford boss Paul Caddis wants a reaction and his side desperately needs to bounce back with a win at Radcliffe tomorrow - but so do the hosts. Two goals from Leamington's 21-year-old midfielder Ewan Williams were enough to see off 10-man Radcliffe, who are still searching for their first points on the road, as joint manager Bernard Morley slammed the side's performance as unacceptable. Having said they got what they deserved out of the game, nothing, he thought the players were too embarrassed to go over the applaud the travelling supporters who made the trip to Warwickshire. Looking ahead to tomorrow's game against Hereford, a side also in need of a reaction and a win after a 4-1 defeat against Chorley, he said: "It's that easy for me to stand here and say it's a must-win game. We want to win every game of football." Morley, who with Anthony Johnson has racked up more than 650 games in management at clubs including Salford and Chester, added: "We will take our medicine today. I've alluded to it three or four times, we're below par. We have to find we have to find a way to win Monday against a side that probably find themselves below us in the table, haven't had the start that they want. "Big football club, Hereford. I believe they've lost today heavily. So, it's going to be a game of both sides need to win. Both sides need points on the table. "I don't stand there and panic in any way, shape, or form, I just think that when you're poor, I don't expect to win. But with this side, when you're good, and we've been good in the first three games, I expect more and the imbalance doesn't make sense to me at the minute." When asked if he expects a reaction Monday, Morley bluntly said: "Has to be a reaction." He finished the interview with the club's YouTube channel saying: "It's now our jobs to dust them down, get them prepared as best as we can for a game against Hereford at home on Monday."
