Think as a club we are better than that,to taunt a club over its demise is not the thing to do,so lets not go down that road.

never liked their chavs who stand right next to the fencing at the segregated away area and chant "oo are yew?" in terrible brummie accents.

And their arrogance and petulance in celebrating our relegation more than their promotion sticks in my gut.

That said they are part of my personal history as I can remember my brother getting married on the opening day of the season and my Dad as part of his speech announcing the 1-0 win to rapturous cheering from the many alty fans in the wedding party.

Gerry Quinn's first game as manager (18th August 1992...I think).Ricky Harris scored & I too was at a wedding.


And I have Mr Harris's shirt from that day up the stairs!!

It's not really taunting on this thread, more a lack of sympathy, most clubs that have financial troubles have fans that we can sympathise with- just not kidderminster

I do seem to remember their 'fans'* tauntingly singing "We'll never play you again" to us all as we were relegated. Perhaps their wish is about to come true at last?




I am using the term loosely here

Maybe we can return the compliment on the 12th when we visit there Gaff  :D

Talking to the kiddy fan at uni, it seems that our game there is a "free entry to the unemployed" and to juniors or something. Seems like the game where they need to get as many paying customers through the gates as possible, and potentially one of their last, is going to end up with a load of freebies.

£150-250k isn't a deadly amount though if costs are cut (and pride swallowed) and fund raising started. It's £900k plus when things get terminal.

That's just the amount that they are admitting to owing though, Ballers.

Possible 'tip of the iceberg' scenario...?


Ballers,

Kidderminster's debt is now reportedly circa £300k.....and rising.

Those fans aren't giving up - they seem to writing emailing and teething every famous person they can for support


Read this off a link of their forum

I’ve had a look on the Harriers main website, in particular casting my eye over the match day ticket prices. If I’m not mistaken, they appear to be around £14 – £17 a game for an adult.

This is comparison to a recent match at Albion which was £12 for adults, whilst Blues offered a two for £20 scheme for Premier League matches."


Apparently the 150k is the shortfall (what needs paying AFTER projected incomes has been taken)

FC harriers of kidderminster


On a serious note, the club could over tomorrow worst case unless the find the 150,000

Could we not "benefit" from any of this ? 20-25 players needing new clubs? No transfer fees if they go bust
