Hereford United have assured fans that their two home matches this week will go ahead despite the foot and mouth crisis.

United are due to entertain Woking in the Nationwide Conference tomorrow night and then take on Burton Albion in the FA Umbro Trophy quarter-finals on Saturday, a match being televised live on Sky.

But even though their Edgar Street ground is directly opposite the city's cattle market, the club say they will have no problems staging the two games.

The Herefordshire Football Association called off all matches under its jurisdiction at the weekend as a result of the outbreak, including both Challenge Cup semi-finals and matches in the county's Saturday and Sunday leagues and the Youth League.
