Harriers Friendly With Premier League Albion To Be Re-Arranged

National League North Kiddy were due to play at The New Lawn, home of Football League newcomers Forest Green Rovers on Saturday, but the fixture will now be played behind closed doors due to concerns with the pitch.

And now Kidderminster's last pre-season game against Premier League West Bromwich Albion on Monday evening has been postponed due to the hectic schedules of both sides, and will be re-arranged for a later date.

John Eustace's side has still been able to enjoy testing match-ups at Aggborough against Football League opposition in Derby County, Aston Villa, Burnley and Birmingham City.

Harriers chairman Colin Gordon said: “This was a game we were looking forward to but, from our point of view, with the numbers now available to us and with the season starting next week, it’s a sensible call to move it.

“West Brom also have a busy week next week with plenty of games, so rather than squeeze another one in that might really stretch the two squads even further, it’s better to wait until perhaps an International break when we can get together in strong numbers and enjoy a game at Aggborough.”
