We have had notice from Manchester City Council that we are able to use the SMRE bar for a temporary period, whilst implementing safety works and an improved stewarding plan. The bar will be open for both the Hereford and Rochdale friendly matches before the start of the season proper.
This is great news for the club and our willing team of volunteers are now working on the plan to get the necessary safety works in place in order to keep the bar open longer term. One of the planning conditions is a strict no smoking policy and we would ask all supporters to respect this in order to maintain our licence to use the bar.
