Edgar Street, football stadium
Edgar Street is a football stadium in Hereford, England, with a capacity of around 5,000 spectators and traditional features including tiered seating, standing terraces, and a main stand. The ground comprises several sections, including the family-friendly Merton Meadow stand opposite the main side and temporary standing areas behind one goal for away supporters.
The stadium opened in 1924 and has established itself as a cornerstone of local football, hosting home matches for Hereford FC, known as The Bulls. Over the decades, the ground has witnessed many memorable encounters and remains a significant venue in the region's sporting history.
Edgar Street takes its name from the street where it stands and serves as a gathering place for football supporters across the region. On match days, fans gather to cheer for their team, and the ground embodies the local community's pride in its sporting traditions.
A large pay-and-display car park sits directly at the stadium with reasonable fees making parking straightforward and affordable. Hereford railway station is about 15 minutes on foot away and is accessible through nearby streets or by cutting through a supermarket car park.
A notable episode in the ground's history occurred in 1972 when fans sat in trees surrounding the stadium during a match against Newcastle United to watch the game. Though that tree no longer stands today, this story remains alive among long-time supporters and underscores the passionate history of the place.
