Harriers face wait to learn fate

Kidderminster Harriers will have to wait for the best part of two weeks to find out if they will be docked points or fined for financial irregularities.

Harriers are to receive a second personal hearing with the Football Conference after being charged with breach of the league's financial rules, following on from Friday's first meeting.

The club are alleged to have broken rule 18, giving inacurrate financial information to the league, relating to discrepancies regarding a Financial Reporting Initiative during the period between August 2009 and May 2010.

If found guilty, they could be docked points or fined.

It's another worry for the cash-strapped Blue Square Premier club, who have revealed they need to find £150,000 before the close of 2010 and another £50,000 by the end of January to stay afloat.

The search goes on for a messiah to pump investment into Aggborough and the fans are being asked to do their bit, with the Kidderminster Harriers Independent Supporters Trust (KHIST) making a formal appeal to fellow supporters to donate money to the club.

That is taking time to get going and won't completely solve the problems, explains KHIST acting chairman David Pountney.

He said: "It's going slowly at the moment, as you would expect at this time of year. With the financial climate as it is, it's obviously hard going, but we are doing the best we can.

"To be fair, the club are working around the club to find investors and get the money, we are still appealing and the current board are meeting people all of the time.

"Long-term they are looking to reduce the debt by cutting costs, making sure we run on a more even keel.

"Things appear to be changing hourly at the moment but we are being kept informed of what is going on, so it's watch this space at the moment."
