Harriers could claim a play-off spot
Kidderminster Harriers will march into the Blue Square Premier play-off places if they can beat Cambridge in front of the TV cameras.
Kidderminster Harriers will march into the Blue Square Premier play-off places if they can beat Cambridge in front of the TV cameras.
Harriers' league trip tonight will be screened live on Premier Sports and, if they pick up three points, they will go into Saturday fifth in the division.
Fleetwood would then have to beat Grimsby tomorrow to reclaim a play-off spot, putting the Cod Army under pressure before a ball is even kicked at the Highbury Stadium.
And Cambridge have the form book against them tonight as they are without a win in nine games, while Harriers have only lost once in 2011.
There's the added attraction of being able to play it up for the cameras at the Abbey Stadium in only their second televised fixture of the season, the other a 2-2 draw at Southport in October.
But Harriers assistant manager Gary Whild is urging the players to look at the bigger picture and only concentrate on getting the win tonight.
He said: "Football is all about grasping opportunities and the moment and, certainly, tonight is one of those moments.
"A result and three points tonight puts us in the top five and puts the pressure on the teams who are playing the following day.
"This is a difficult game - Cambridge can be an intimidating place to go to, they always get a good following and good support.
"I'm sure they will be looking to put on a show tonight and get a result."
Harriers fans not making the trip to Cambridge can watch the game live back at Aggborough tonight.
The Aggborough Suite will be screening the match and is open to all supporters for the evening.
