Hereford FC were formed by supporters after the collapse of Hereford United and carry the city’s football identity at Edgar Street. The Bulls have one of the larger supports at Step 2, strong FA Cup heritage through their predecessor club and a deep connection with Herefordshire football.
Edgar Street, currently known as the MandM Edgar Street Stadium, is one of the most historic and recognisable grounds in National League North. It sits right in the centre of Hereford, close to the railway station, city centre pubs and car parks, giving it a very different feel to out-of-town modern grounds.
The ground is a mix of historic character and practical modern use. The Merton Stand provides seated accommodation along one side, while the Meadow End is the traditional home terrace and usually the loudest part of the stadium. The Len Weston Stand and other areas complete the current working layout, while the Blackfriars End has long been a redevelopment issue rather than a normal spectator end.
Edgar Street has a proper old football-ground feel: close to town, close to the pitch, and full of character. It is not the most modern stadium in the league, but it remains one of the division's most interesting away days and can generate a strong atmosphere when Hereford are well supported.
A strong West Midlands non-league rivalry, built on close geography, away followings and repeated meetings after both clubs’ Football League histories.
No upcoming rivalry fixture currently listed.
Away arrangements at Edgar Street are fixture dependent. For segregated games, visiting supporters are normally given a designated away section with access controlled by the club and stewards. Allocations can vary depending on the expected away following.

For some segregated fixtures, away supporters have been told that tickets can be purchased online in advance or from the ticket office on the day.
Radfords, the club bar at the ground, often welcomes away supporters, but this can change for higher-profile fixtures. Away fans should not assume they will be allowed into home areas, bars or terraces without checking the match-specific guidance.
