Hereford look to emulate Carlisle United

Last updated : 29 May 2006 By Andy Van Hagen
Graham Turner has stated Hereford can achieve back-to-back promotions. The manager who also doubles up as club chairman, said "I've always maintained that well-run clubs of our size could get into the Championship." He cites the recent example of Colchester and Southend United as smaller clubs who can gain promotion to the Championship and also uses Carlisle, Yeovil and Doncaster as non-league  teams that have recorded back to back promotions.

Ex-Wolves manager Turner said "We would hope the momentum can keep us going and the winning habit and feeling the players have got from getting promoted can keep us going into next season. But we know that won't just happen and we have got to strengthen."

He was also of the opinion :"What's also intriguing for us now is that we've also got six local derbies to look forward to. We've got clubs the size of Swindon, Bristol Rovers, Wrexham, Shrewsbury, Chester, Walsall. All that will help swell the coffers when you have games of that magnitude.
