The Home of the Harriers

Below are some edited details about Aggborough Stadium , the home of Kidderminster Harriers taken from their Official Website and also Harriers Online.

AGGBOROUGH Stadium is a compact but smart ground that has undergone major building work over the past fifteen years. The Main Stand was built in the summer of 1994, replacing an old wooden stand that ultimately cost the club promotion to the Football League earlier that year due to an insufficient seating capacity. The Main Stand houses the Aggborough Suite and a range of executive boxes, with disabled supporters comfortably accommodated at a specially designated area at the front of this stand. Two identical covered terraces (refered to locally as the 'Town End' and 'The College End') sit behind both goals which, when at least half full, create a superb atmosphere.

Facing the Main Stand and running parallel to the far touchline is the new East Stand. Built during the summer of 2003 at a cost of £1.1 million, it houses 2,040 seats for both home and away fans. Catering facilities at Aggborough are excellent with fast food type bars situated throughout the ground; the 'world famous' Aggborough soup is an experience that must be tasted! There is a well populated Programme Shop in the corner between the Main Stand and the North Terrace.

Adjacent to the Club Shop is 'The Harriers Arms' - Aggborough Stadium's very own public house. Despite being open to the general public on non-matchdays, this establishment is, however, CLOSED to visiting fans before and after First Team matchdays due to limited space.
