GRAHAM Turner has whisked his players off to secluded Lilleshall National Sports Centre in preparation for Saturday's live televised FA Cup clash with Wigan Athletic.
The Hereford United boss will be hoping to repeat the success of Conference rivals Doncaster Rovers who sent Paul Jewell's high-flying second division side out of the LDV Vans Trophy in mid-week.
Sky cameras will be assembled at the Edgar Street ground tomorrow and match commentators will be Rob Hawthorne and former Aston Villa and Leicester boss Brian Little, with cup hero Ricky George a studio guest.
The match is worth £100,000 to Hereford and the club is hoping for a gate of 3,500 to 4,000 to cheer on Turner's team.
"The atmosphere hasn't been too good of late but we are the underdogs and hopefully the crowd will get behind us," he said. "Wigan top the Second Division but if we play to our best you never know."
Meanwhile, Ledbury Town were held 1-1 at home by Tividale last night in the West Midlands Premier Division.
