Oxford United manager Chris Wilder has said that he is hoping for a bumper crowd next Saturday when Hereford United make their first visit to Oxford for over fifteen years.
With Oxford just outside the play-offs and the Bulls having a reasonable away record, there are good reasons to hope this will be an exciting match.
"We are in a run of six games during which this is our only home match, so your support will be as vital as ever as we look for another three points," said Wilder as reported by the Oxford OS
"We have some tough home games still to come against teams also in the mix, and your support can really make the difference"
As for Hereford manager Jamie Pitman, he told BBC Hereford and Worcester that he's looking forward to Saturday.
"It's a great occasion to go to Oxford, it's a great stadium.
"They are going very well."
Oxford has designated the game as Military Day and members of the armed forces will be allowed in free if in uniform.
Guest of honour will be Oxford supporter 22 year old Jack Cummings who lost both his legs in an explosion in Afghanistan.
As reported above it was back in August 1995 when the two clubs last met. This was in the Coca-Cola Cup and was played on a two-game home and away basis. However the Bulls lost both games and went out of the competition 5-2 on aggregate.
There are clips of both these games on YouTube.

Neither clip reveals who did the voice over but it does sound a little similar to Hereford United's current vice-chairman Tim Russon.
