CASH-strapped Hereford United have been given a £100,000 boost after the BBC selected the Bulls' FA Cup first round tie with Wrexham for live broadcast.

The Nationwide Conference side entertain the League Divison Two outfit on Sunday, November 18, kick off 1pm.

Director of Football, Graham Turner, described it as tremendous news on top of the £20,000 the Edgar Street club pocketed for beating Dover Athletic 1-0 with a Gavin Williams goal in the fourth qualify round on Saturday.

The club has debts of more than £1m and the future of its ground is still undecided.
