4/1/25 Kidderminster Harriers 4-0 Slough Town in the Isuzu FA Trophy 4th Rd. Adult entry £14, programme £3, pin badge £3. Enjoyed my visit apart from the result. This is a lovely ground, but as it was segregated didn’t get to see all of it. We were in the away section which gave us half of the covered terrace stand and some seats in the main stand. I’ve given my visit 4 stars for the following reasons. There was not enough communication about when the ground was open. We arrived in good time but had to hang around for 40 minutes as the ground didn’t open until 2. Parking at the ground is too expensive at £7.50!!! We couldn’t drink in the Harriers Arms as it was home supporters only. Got directed to the Social Club, but they wanted a £2 Day Member fee. I was denied access to the Club Shop to buy a badge as it was in the home supporters section. My son had to buy it as he is part of the media team at Slough. Other than that the stewards were nice and friendly as were some of the supporters we chatted to. The food offering was okay, maybe a bit limited, but the Chicken Balti pie was excellent. I know some fans were a bit miffed at being charged £2.70 for a bottle of water. If you haven’t been I would highly recommend a visit.

Typical aspirational NL club currently trying to get out of National League North. Treatment of away fans not great. Access to bars nil, unless you pay £2 to get into Harriers social club. Friendly people therein & cheap pricing. Very nice stadium, just not welcoming. Found this at similar clubs e.g. Woking, Bromley, Ebbsfleet, Boreham Wood.

Went for a Xmas party, the steak was amazing but coming with just chips, it was lacking a little something, pudding was a reasonable cheesecake but nothing amazing. Service was good although a little pricey for drinks with a bit of a limited selection. DJ was good, overall a good night but lacking a little for the price per head IMO

Visited the ground for an FA cup match. The ground had on-site parking which was handy. Plenty of stewards around the ground there did however, seem to be different rules for different stands. I had some friends sat on seats who were told to remove bottle caps yet I stood and was not asked to remove mine 🤷♀️. Drinks were slightly overpriced compared to our home stadium. Overall, a good trip with a nice ground and easy parking, shame about the price of drinks and the bottle cap incident.

History (from Wikipedia)
The ground was opened in May 1890 with a single grandstand on the western touchline, and initially included a banked running track.[1] In 1935 a new 460-seat grandstand was built, and by World War II covered areas had been created on the east and southern sides of the ground.[1]
After the war the running track was replaced by a cycle track. On 27 November 1948 the ground's record attendance of 9,155 was set for an FA Cup first round replay against Hereford United. On 14 September 1955 Aggborough Stadium became the first ground to host a floodlit FA Cup match,[1] when Harriers faced Brierley Hill Alliance in a preliminary round replay, with Kidderminster winning 4–2.
A new East Stand was built in 1979, and terracing was created all around the pitch in 1983. The ground was rebuilt in the 1990s, with the cycle track removed and a new Main Stand built in 1994. Covered terracing was added at each end of the pitch.[1] When Kidderminster won their first Conference title in 1994, Aggborough Stadium was not deemed to meet Football League standards and as a result Kidderminster were denied promotion to Division Three. By the time Kidderminster won their second Conference title six years later, the ground had been upgraded to Football League standards and promotion was allowed. In 2003 the new 2,040-seat cantilever stand was built to replace the old East Stand.[1]
