Follow the Bulls in Hereford on Sunday

More news have been released about Sunday's events to celebrate Hereford United's promotion to League One. Please note some details and timings are yet to be finalised.

The day will commence with an open-top coach parade starting at Edgar Street. Manager Graham Turner, coach John Trewick and the whole squad are expected to be on board.

The coach will leave Edgar Street at 11.15am and travel through the streets of Hereford to arrive opposite the Town Hall at 11.45am.

The squad will be met by the Mayor of Hereford Chris Chappell and the Chairman of Herefordshire Council John Stone.

Standing of the steps of the Town Hall, the Mayor will say a few words and then present the City Coat of Arms to Graham Turner.

A reception in the Assembly Hall will follow. As space is limited this will be by invitation only but it is hoped that as many Hereford United supporters as possible will be able to attend. The reception is expected to finish about 1pm.

Then at 1.30pm the gates will open at the Allpay (Westfields) ground for a charity football match between a Hereford United team and a West Bromwich Albion team. Lots of well known former players from both clubs are expected.

Those due to turn out for Hereford include Jamie Pitman, Neil Grayson, Ian Rodgerson, Gareth Davies, Phil Stant, Jimmy Harvey, Colin Addison, Stewart Phillips, Steve Emery, Steve Spooner and many more.

Amidst those playing for West Brom should be former Hereford United coach Richard O'Kelly and Cyril Regis.

It is hoped that Ricky George and Ronnie Radford will be present to support the Hereford team.

The game will kick-off at 2.30pm. Admission will be £3 with the proceeds going to the Mayor's charity, the Alzheimer's Society.

There will be a raffle at the game with one of the prizes being a signed West Bromwich shirt.

The Mayor would like to thank Colin Addison and Andy Morris for their help in organising this match. Also the many sponsors who have backed it.
