Bulls Gear Up For Promotion Party

Robinson Grimsby

Hereford United will entertain Grimsby this Saturday, with the game kicking off a weekend of celebrations for The Bulls. The promotion winning squad will be presented with medals prior to kick off, with the match being followed by a lap of honour.

Although the football could well take a back seat amidst all the celebrations, there is a match going ahead, and Grimsby will come to Edgar Street looking to spoil United's Promotion Party.

With no real meaning on the game, Bulls surpremo, Graham Turner could decide to give some of the squad players a chance to impress on the Edgar Street turf, but the former Wolves man will also be keen to reward those players who have played a big hand in United's promotion campaign.

United haven't beaten Grimsby since the late 80's, and went down to Alan Buckley's men 2-1 earlier in the season.

We'll be bringing some pre-match comment from Edgar Street later this afternoon.

Following the game, the celebrations are set to continue. Saturday evening will see HUISA announce the fans Player of the Year, at the Player of the Year 'do' at Saxty's, and supporters are likely to be nursing heavy hangovers on Sunday morning as they are expected to turn out in their thousands to celebrate once more as the players enjoy an open bus tour through the City.
