Hereford United will have a reduced capacity at Edgar Street this season after the Blackfriars End failed a health and safety inspection.

United have confirmed the section of the ground will be closed for the 2009/10 season.

Half of the Blackfriars End is normally given to away supporters with home fans occupying the remainder.

Bulls fans who have already bought season tickets for the terracing will be contacted by the club.

The remainder of the ground passed the inspection, although some minor work will need to be carried out.

The club will now look at ways in which they can develop the Blackfriars End and will have a series of meetings with interested parties over the coming weeks.
