HEREFORD UNITED

Hereford boss Graham Turner believes the gaps between home games for non-league clubs are becoming too long. Turner insists life can be difficult for clubs without any income for such a long period. He told the club's official website: "We're not the only club who've suffered like this and there shouldn't be any need for any of us to suffer."
