Wrexham have the advantage ahead of Sunday's crucial Blue Square Premier second leg at Aggborough after a 2-1 victory on their own turf last night.

But Harriers fans believe their team can overturn the deficit to take a step closer to promotion back to the Football League.

Matthew Hatton, aged 23, was among the 547 Harriers fans who made the 130-mile round trip to Wales. He said: "It was a disappointing score but we aren't out of the running yet, there's still a long way to go and I am confident that we will win the home game on Sunday.

"The atmosphere at the match was amazing. All the fans really got behind the team and I hope there is that same kind of support during our next match.

"I will be at the ground on Sunday cheering on the lads.

"I never miss a game and especially not one as important as this."

There has been a constant queue at Aggborough for tickets to Sunday's second-leg match. Today, the club had 2,200 of the 4,600 tickets allocated left.

They include 850 for the North Stand, 1,150 for the East Stand and 200 tickets for the Main Stand.

Wrexham are expected to sell-out their allocation of 1,700 for the South Stand.

Harriers' press officer Matt Wall said: "The match will give us 90 minutes to turn the tie around and book our place at Wembley.

"We are hopeful that with the strong crowd expected we will be able to make it – it should be an exciting game."
