Ascaris deemed healthier tham Lyndley Catering

This morning's Hereford Times has followed up the story that appeared on BN and elsewhere last weekend which suggested that Hereford United supporters were the third most unhealthy fans in the League.

Recently local company Ascaris have been given the catering contract at the ground instead of the unloved Lindley Catering.

"We as a football club are keen to have our fans as happy and healthy as possible and anything we can do to improve things we will," said Tim Russon, the Hereford United vice-chairman.

"Ascaris is a more healthy option than previously in that the food is freshly prepared and locally made.

"We believe we have made a positive step forward."

Well-known supporter and farmer Rob Powell said he was surprised at the survey's findings.

"I'm shocked," he said.

"Now Ascaris has taken over the ground catering, what could be healthier than a locally-produced Herefordshire beef pie."
