HEREFORD UNITED chief Graham Turner has told supporters that it is embarrassing to be anchored at the bottom of League One.

Turner's men have only won one of their first eight games and are now three points adrift of Cheltenham Town at the foot of the table following the 1-0 defeat at Leeds United on Saturday.

"It's embarrassing when you're at the bottom and we have got to put that right," said Turner.

"We worked tremendously hard to come through from the Conference and League Two – now we have got to work just as hard to maintain this level."

Turner has also commented on the difference between Leeds United's financial position compared to Hereford, with a £20 million difference in turnover.

"I was reading Ken Bates's column at Leeds when he was moaning about the gap between Arsenal and themselves.

"Leeds's turnover is £22 million and ours is just over £1 million – that is a massive difference.

"But it is still a pleasure to go to places like Leeds."
