👉 SEASON TICKET HOLDERS BRING A FRIEND FOR FREE VS HEREFORD FC!
The Mariners are still in high spirits, having made it into the First Round Proper of the FA Cup last week after coming away with a 4-0 win against Spalding United in the Fourth Round Qualifying thanks to goals from Paul Blackett (x2), Caden Kelly, and Cedwyn Scott.
Highlights for that fixture can be seen below ⬇️
South Shields come into today's game against Hereford FC with their unbeaten run still intact, having not lost a single game all season.
Their most recent league win came against Chorley FC in a 2-0 win at the 1st Cloud Arena, immediately after facing them in the FA Cup Third Round Qualifying.
Hereford have won three of their previous five games, taking maximum points against Alfreton Town, Worksop Town, and, most recently, Leamington. The other two games saw them draw against Bedford Town and Darlington.
Season Ticket holders can bring a friend for free for this fixture, a really good opportunity to introduce someone new to your club, so make sure you take advantage of this great opportunity.

South Shields vs Hereford this weekend has me buzzing—been following Shields since their promotion push last season. Last home game they grinded out a solid win despite the pressure; Hereford's been inconsistent on the road but dangerous when they click. Hoping for a tight one with the Mariners edging it through set pieces. Always enjoy the Mariners' atmosphere at 1st Cloud Arena. When placing small bets on matches like this, I check patterns first — BetMGM reviews show mixed experiences with payouts and support, so I keep stakes low and fun. Come on you Mariners!
