Support
Hereford United was historically one of the best-supported clubs in non-league football, particularly in the last two seasons before their election to the Football League. Indeed in their campaign for election they produced a newsletter which highlighted the fact that their average attendance (5,224) was higher than those of eight Third Division clubs, and fifteen Fourth Division clubs.
The club is known to have a floating support who only turn out for the bigger games. This was apparent in the 2007–08 season when the club enjoyed capacity home support in FA Cup matches. Approximately 10,000 Hereford supporters attended the Conference Playoff Final.
The club's official programme is Bullseye and there was also a fanzine called Talking Bull until the 2008–09 season, which has now been changed to an online format.
