Hereford United's team coach broke down on the way to Southend earlier today.

Stuart Fleetwood and Rob Purdie both tweeted that the team got stranded, before a new coach arrived.

Purdie's tweet read :"Wonder how many teams are stuck in friday traffic?...n wonder how many, like us, are now waiting for a new coach that works!"

Fleetwood also joked about the situation by tweeting: "Bus has broken down, excellent! Services for a Starbucks frap!"

A mock-up photo of Purdie driving a City Bus Tours bus was also put up online.

A new bus arrived, with the squad finally arriving in Southend more than six hours after leaving Hereford.

However, Fleetwood brushed off the situation, saying that there are no big timers in the team and he was "not bothered."

A similar incident happened last season when a Yeomans coach which had been painted in Hereford United colours broke down on the way to an away game.

The club then changed to using Astons of Worcester.
