A football club is preparing to return to its home stadium after flooding forced it to play from other venues.

Hereford FC faced a series of postponements in recent weeks, creating an end-of-season fixture backlog.

The club has been able to play some of its home games at Worcester's Sixways stadium and at Redditch United, and chairman Chris Ammonds said he was grateful for their hospitality.

But he said "there really is no place like home" and encouraged Hereford fans to come out in force for the National League North League match against Leamington on 10 March.

Hereford FC have only played 28 games so far, seven games behind some other clubs in their division, and know if they win their games in hand they can escape the relegation places.

Writing on the club's official website, Ammonds said the signs were positive with "the temperature rising and the long range forecast showing that hopefully the worst of the winter rainfall is behind us".

After a recent managerial change, he also noted it would be the first chance for the management team and a number of players to play under the lights at the Edgar Street stadium.
