The Bulls travel to Aggborough on Tuesday (weather permitting) for an attractive Blue Square match.
Visiting supporters are housed on the South Stand terrace, which is covered and can accommodate up to 1500 fans. The facilities are good with the Aggborough soup and homemade cottage pies being famous throughout non-league. A number of seats are also made available in part of the Bill Greaves East Stand. Admission is believed to be £14 for adults, concessions £8, U16’s £5 with children under 5 gaining free admission. There is a premium of £3 for adults and concessions that require a seat.
HUISA – departs from Radford’s at 12.30pm with a fare of £10 (non-members £12). Seats can still be booked through the Club office (08442 761939).
BY CAR - Leave Hereford travelling north on the A49 towards Leominster. At Woofferton (Salway Arms), turn right onto the A456 (sign Tenbury). Continue through Tenbury Wells following signs for Kidderminster. Stay on the A456 taking care to bear left at the pub in Newnham. Pass through Clows Top and follow the road around Bewdley and passed the Safari Park. Enter Kidderminster via Bewdley Hill and join the inner Ring Road (clockwise). Follow the ring road until you pass the turning for Comberton Road then look for signs for Aggborough (Hoo Road), which will be to your left.
PARKING - There are two fair sized car parks at the ground, but it can sometimes be difficult to get away quickly after the game. It is worth noting that the car park behind the away terrace costs £3, whilst the car park behind the opposite home end is free. Otherwise you can park at the Severn Valley Railway station for £1.50 and walk through to the ground (From Football ground guide).
TRAIN – Hereford to Kidderminster change at Droitwich (20 minute stopover). Departure times from Hereford are 10.40am, 11.40am and 12.40pm to arrive at Kidderminster at 12.05, 13.05 or 14.05. The return trains leave at 18.00 or 18.55 arriving in Hereford at 19.24 or 20.29 again, with a break in Droitwich. Kiddy station is a ten-minute walk from the ground. The adult fare is shown as £10.60 return on the National Rail site.
REFRESHMENTS – There have been suggestions that under Police advice the Pubs around the ground will not be open prior to the game but it’s unlikely that the town centre pubs will be shut. The Harriers Club at the ground normally admits visiting fans but I have no information regarding this fixture.
