TICKETS will go on sale this week for Hereford United's plum pre-season friendly against a Manchester United XI.

The match, on Saturday, August 4 (3pm), is expected to attract a bumper crowd and supporters are strongly advised to buy tickets in advance.

They cost £8 for the stand (£5 concessions) and £6 for the terraces (£3 concessions), and are available from the offices at Edgar Street.

Hereford's other Edgar Street friendlies are against Cardiff City on Saturday, August 21 (12 noon) and Bristol City on Saturday, August 28 (3pm).

n Worcester City boss John Barton will answer questions at a supporters' forum at St George's Lane tonight (7.45pm). Coach Mick Tuohy and head scout Graham Selby will also be on the panel.

City will entertain First Division Wolves in a pre-season friendly on Monday, August 6.

Their Dr Martens Cup triumph means they will also play a Southern League Championship match at champions Margate, likely to be on August 11.
