History of the Hereford United v Exeter City fixture

Exeter City face a trip to Hereford United at Edgar Street on Saturday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Grecians will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 8 and win only 3 of the 15 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in December 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Conference match.
