There are rules that every new club which enters the Football League have to abide by when it comes to press facilities. And although it may not seem it to some, Stanley are lightyears ahead of Hereford when it comes to the technical media facilities that the Fraser Eagle Stadium has to offer to its press.

Not everyone can get to football matches week in a week out due to work commitments or being abroad and radio stations give those people the chance to follow their team no matter where the listener's are. I'm sure if they could be at Hereford on Saturday they would be!

Stanley are lucky in that they have upto three commercial radio stations following their results week in and out, not including the BBC.

When we were in the Conference Stanley had two commercial stations following them this is compared to NO commercial stations covering the likes of Hereford. Unfortunately for them this is a bad thing as they play a key role in both the publicity side of things for matches, news and coverage!!! Which in turn creates extra revenue for the club!!

P.S Your stands may be covered but from last season one end was condemned (according to several stewards) and the other was blocked by MASSIVE and I mean MASSIVE stantions holding up the other stand to the point that you were ducking and diving throughout the match to see anything happening!
