Waywell full of Harrison praise

LEIGH RMI boss Steve Waywell told Football.Nationwide.co.uk that ex-Hereford defender Gerry Harrison was the key in his side's 1-0 win over the Bulls at Edgar Street yesterday.

"Gerry Harrison missed last week's game at Margate and we missed him - and against Hereford he was outstanding," said Waywell. "He's a cocky, confident sort of lad and the other players respond to that. He was definitely our man-of-the-match."

Waywell praised Hereford's excellent pitch and their supporters. "The pitch was brilliant and not bobbly, which is surprising with all the rain we've had. It was a good surface and a good atmosphere which always gives you a lift.

"But our lads deserve a lot of credit for beating a side who have been on a good run of form lately. We have an excellent away record and a lot of that is down to the fact that at Hilton Park we haven't the best of surfaces, a small crowd and not much atmosphere. Players respond to a crowd and that's what they did at Hereford."

In his column in yesterday's Bullseye magazine, chairman Kevin Wargen wrote that HUISA had a meeting with council leader Terry James but the details had to be kept confidential for the time being. He also said that he had spoken to a person who may be looking to help the club in the future, who was concerned about misinformation being posted on the internet. He pleaded with supporters to be careful when publishing information and although the current situation was frustrating, "things are beginning to happen".
