Nearly 26 Years since the Bulls played at Bradford

Tomorrow's League Two fixture will be the first time Hereford United have played at Bradford City since Jan 30th 1982. On that day the two Division Four teams played out a goal-less draw in front of a gate of just 3,734. Frank Lord was in charge of the Bulls at the time.

With recent attendances at Valley Parade as high as 15,000, the Bulls will probably be playing in front of the biggest gate they will find anywhere this season. Last month at Elland Road only 11,315 watched the FA Cup replay with Leeds which the Bulls won 1-0. This figure should be exceeded tomorrow.

Bradford's Stadium can seat over 25,000. It's all under cover and away supporters are accomodated in the TL Dallas stand which is a two-tier structure.

Hereford mid-fielder Clint Easton has played against Bradford before and he told BBC Hereford and Worcester it's a massive ground.

"It will be nice for the lads to play infront of a big crowd."

The Hereford team bus reportedly left Edgar Street for Yorkshire earlier this afternoon.

As ever supporters not going to the match can keep up with all the action by tuning to BBC Hereford and Worcester.
