With the Conference season over, Hereford United will be able to look back at the campaign with some pride.
The Bulls have recorded less fouls than any other Conference side, just 422. Their Play-off opponents Morecambe were credited with 571.
Hereford had the joint lowest number of yellow cards, 38, but unusually for the Bulls recorded 4 reds. Overall they are 2nd in the Discipline table.
Ryan Green, Alex Jeannin, Daryl Taylor, Andy Ferrell and Guy Ipoua were all sent off during the past season although Ipoua's card was recinded on appeal.
But the highlight of the season was Hereford's defensive record. Just 33 goals were scored against the Bulls in the 42 Conference games, by far the best in the league.
As predicted earlier this month by Bulls News, Wayne Brown has now featured in the top ten tightest defences for the third time.
The current top ten is now as follows:
Kettering 93/94 24 goals
Darlington 89/90 25
Macclesfield 96/97 30
Chester 02/03 31
Scarboro 80/81 32*
HEREFORD 05/06 33
Scarboro 86/87 33
Chester 03/04 34
Maidstone 83/84 34
Maidstone 82/83 34
* Adjusted from 38 game season.
The current defence is also the meanest Bulls defence since the promotion winning side of 1972, who conceded just 30 goals as they finished runners-up in the Southern League.
The attendance at Edgar Street have averaged 2793, down 9% on last season's 3068.
