Team news
Cheltenham Town manager Mark Yates will wait for a late assessment on the fitness of defender Michael Townsend and midfielder Matt Thornhill before finalising his team. Shane Duff is set for 60 minutes in a reserve game today but may be given a place on the bench later. Marley Watkins, who scored his first goal for the club on Saturday, has picked up an ankle injury and will be the subject of a fitness test.
Hereford United have appealed against the red card given to defender Paul Downing (nephew of former Robins manager Keith Downing) in Saturday's defeat at Notts County. If the appeal is successful he will be able to play in tonight's game. Goalkeeper Chris Adamson will definitely miss out as a result of his sending off in the same game.

Park and Ride
The FREE matchday shuttle bus will run between Cheltenham Racecourse Park & Ride & the Off Licence located near the junction of Whaddon Road and Prestbury Road (250 metres from ground). Buses will run every 20 minutes from 6.00pm until 7.20pm - after the game 9.45pm, 10.05pm and 10.25pm. Cheltenham Town Football Club welcomes well behaved visiting supporters onto our Park & Ride shuttle bus facility.

Previous meetings
A double from Manchester United loanee Sam Hewson and a goal from Febian Brandy handed Hereford United all the points on their first-ever Football League visit to the Abbey Business Stadium almost exactly a year ago, although both sides ultimately surrendered their League One berth by the end of the campaign. Neither side has fared much better this time around, and the Bulls arrive at Abbey Business Stadium off the back of a 5-0 drubbing at Notts County on Saturday, managed now of course by Steve Cotterill. The two sides shared the points at Edgar Street back in August.
