HEREFORD FC manager Pete Beadle says the club need to act as strongly as they can if any Bulls fans caused trouble at Alvechurch.

The match at Lye Meadow was halted shortly before the end after Alvechurch missed a penalty through Jordan Nadat.

Supporters were seen squaring up to each other between where a segregated barrier had been placed.

It was reported that a fence was hurled by one fan, with stewards and police called to calm things down.

The match then resumed and Hereford held on for a 2-1 win that takes them to the summit of the Midland Football League Premier Division.

"After all the hard work the club and board of directors are doing off the pitch and what the loyal supporters have done every week by following us home and away in massive numbers, they're tarnishing it," said Beadle.

"That is just not acceptable and if we find out they are Hereford fans, then the club needs to act as strongly as they can because we don't want them here - I don't want them here.

"It ruins all the work my players have put into this season.

"People will go away, I would like to think, saying what a fantastic game - two great sides who left it out there on the pitch, but I've got a funny feeling they'll be a lot of talk about what happened on the far side, which takes away the credit from the players that have played and put on, for me a fantastic performance."
