FC UNITED v HEREFORD FC - Match Arrangements

On Saturday 2nd March FC United welcome Hereford FC to Broadhurst Park, in the National League North kick off 3.00 pm.

This match is crucially important to our survival in National League North. Relegation is never confirmed until there aren’t enough points left to play for, so although we have stemmed the run of losses with two successive draws, we need wins desperately.

A win will rekindle hope all is not lost and perhaps put doubt into our visitors that they can be dragged back into the relegation dogfight.

Admission is by payment at the turnstiles which open at 1.30 pm.

FC United fans only should enter the ground via turnstiles 4-6 at the St.Mary’s Road end.
