Fight to stay in the Football League: Forty-eight-year-old goalkeeper Kevin Poole could play for Burton against Barnet

VETERAN goalkeeper Kevin Poole could play for Burton Albion against Barnet tomorrow.

Sources close have told the Hereford Times that the 48-year-old veteran goalkeeper may feature in the game which Barnet have to win in order to stay in the Football League if Hereford get three points in their game against Torquay.

Poole announced last week that he is to retire at the end of the season after a glittering 32-year career.

His last senior appearance for Burton was in a Johnstone's Paint Trophy game against Rotherham in October 2010.

Meanwhile, Hereford United have announced that match day tickets are to go up £2 next season regardless of what league they are in.

Terrace prices will be £16 and seats £18.

But, the club will be offering an early bird scheme for season ticket holders.

It will run until June 15 and will offer a ten per cent reduction on current prices.
