Rather than Hereford do the honourable thing and delay the kick off, the game kicked off at 3pm. The Police decided to tell the fans that the game's kick off had been delayed for 15 minutes to allow the fans to enter the stadium. This was a total lie.
As game kicked off the Walsall fans learnt that the game had started regardless. This lead to understandable frustrations from the Walsall faithfull, after being fed lies by the Police (presumably to maintain order). However this tactic only works until people find out the truth.
When some fans got to the turnstile at 3.20pm they were still made to pay full entry fee.
I think this customer service stinks and that Hereford United made the statement that they do not give a toss about away support. No appology was relayed on the tannoy at half time or on their website following the game from either the club or police.
Last week Burton Albion put the kick-off of their F.A Cup tie with Tamworth back 15 minutes to allow a few hundred fans to gain entry to the stadium.
The Walsall players managed to get some justice for their loyal support by securing three points.
