Players' entrance, Hereford _ FC
There are no players yet, football returns in August after the removal of the old company and its hostile but unknown owners. The company refused to pay a bond to the Football Conference, deliberately relegating the old Hereford United to the Southern League, hence the red plaque. They will be playing in a much lower league next season of course, but there is now a long term future.
700 season tickets have been sold. The Southern League side usually got about 300 in due to a boycott.

Edgar Street Athletic Ground
No meaningful football here since April 2014. The game returns in August 2015 as the long road back up the leagues starts again.
The Waitrose car park vantage point was used to keep an eye on the destructive ownership in the last six months of Hereford United (1939) Ltd.
The Merton Stand was a replacement for the old stand demolished when Edgar Street was widened. The old stand "Noah's Ark" looked like a Dutch barn and was reerected as one in Risbury.

Merton Stand
View into Edgar Street Athletic Ground whilst the Blackfriars End has been demolished. Student housing is planned for the site as well as a stand. The floodlight pylons are also due to go, taking with them corners of the pitch where dark deeds can take place beyond the night vision of a match official.
The previous floodlights were so bad that when Match of the Day games were top secret, news got out that a Hereford - Brighton game (no not That One) was chosen due to the row over kick off times - the ground was too dark for 1976's cameras. It was a 1-1 draw thanks to a "hand of God" goal by Dixie McNeil. In those more civilised times it was Hereford who kept getting promoted and Brighton knew their place - oh for their return.
