Solihull beat Kidderminster 2–1 for a second straight league win but remain in the bottom four
Sunday 1 November 2026 · By Ian Bickerstaff
Solihull Moors beat Kidderminster Harriers 2–1 at home on Saturday, their second league win in a row. They are 22nd in the Enterprise National League on 13 points.
Kidderminster went ahead through Walker in the third minute. Solihull’s Wodskou equalised in the sixth minute and Kidderminster’s Crompton put the ball into his own net in the 41st minute, which settled the game. The own goal is credited to Solihull. The order of the goals was 0–1, 1–1, 2–1. The attendance was 1,333, according to the BBC.
Before that, Solihull won 3–2 at Wealdstone on Tuesday 27 October. They led 2–0 and then 3–1, and Wealdstone never drew level. Johnson put Solihull ahead in the third minute with a deflected free-kick, and Andrews made it 2–0 with a header from a corner around the 20th minute. Henry pulled one back for Wealdstone in the 81st minute and High made it 3–1 in the 84th minute. Okenabirhie scored for Wealdstone in the 89th minute. The order was 0–1, 0–2, 1–2, 1–3, 2–3.
The table shows Solihull on 13 points from 16 games, with four wins, one draw and 11 defeats. They are two points below 21st-placed Hartlepool United, who have 15, and four below 20th-placed Tamworth, who have 17 and have played one game fewer. Solihull are three points above 23rd-placed Scunthorpe United, who have 10. They are 15 points behind seventh-placed Altrincham, who have 28. Only the leaders are promoted automatically, the clubs from second to seventh go into the play-offs, and the clubs from 21st to 24th go down. The form guide reads W L L L W W.
The goals column is the problem. Solihull have scored 19 and conceded 40, which is the most conceded in the league, for a goal difference of −21. No other club has conceded more than Gateshead’s 34, and Solihull’s total is six more than that.
No quote from manager Chris Millington was available at the time of writing, so this account relies on the BBC and the Kidderminster match reports.
Solihull have no FA Cup first-round tie on 7 November, and there is no league game that day. The league resumes away at Sutton United on Saturday 14 November at 3pm. Altrincham visit on Saturday 21 November at 12.30pm. Solihull then travel to Hartlepool on Wednesday 25 November at 7.45pm and to Hornchurch on Saturday 28 November at 3pm.
The Hartlepool game on 25 November is the next one that will test the gap at the bottom. With the two clubs separated by two points, the winner would move clear of its rival, and the loser would have to catch up.
Damson Park, often carrying a sponsorship name such as the ARMCO Arena, is the home of Solihull Moors. It sits on Damson Parkway (sat-nav B92 9EJ or B91 2PP) in a pocket of industrial and airport landscape: Jaguar Land Rover on one side, Elmdon Nature Park and Birmingham Airport not far beyond. Capacity is about 5,500, with roughly 2,100 seats. It is a compact National League ground rather than a bowl, so you are close to the pitch wherever you stand.
Most bigger fixtures are segregated. Visiting supporters are usually given the Draintech End, also called the Forest End: a covered terrace of about seven steps that runs the full width of the pitch behind one goal and holds close to 1,000. Depending on numbers, clubs also sell uncovered seats in the adjacent block of the Gas Centre Stand (often Block N). The opposite goal is the Jerroms Stand, known to home fans as The Shed or the Tuck Shop End. That is the home end. The two-tier Damson Homes Stand runs the length of the pitch on the clubhouse side, with dugouts in front. Opposite it, on the airport or car-park side, three blocks of covered seating form the Gas Centre Stand.
On-site parking is limited, first come first served, and typically costs around £10. Arrive early if you want a space; eight accessible bays sit close to the entrance. The usual overflow is the NCP at Birmingham Airport Cargo Terminal (B26 3QT), a 15–20 minute walk. The club often publishes a discounted matchday code at the payment machines, not the exit barrier. Do not park on Damson Parkway. Solihull station is about two and a half miles away; Birmingham International is closer. Local buses, including the X12, drop near Elmdon Park / Damson Lane, a short walk from the turnstiles.
Away turnstiles are commonly 9 and 10; home fans use 1 and 2. Times change with kick-off, so check the club site on the morning of the game. The box office is usually in Car Park A. Tickets are often still sold on the day if the allocation is not gone. Typical adult prices sit around the low twenties, with concessions and under-18s cheaper and under-12s often free with a paying adult. Children of 14 and under must be accompanied. There is a late-arrival scale: full price to half-time, a reduced flat rate after that, and free entry in the last quarter of an hour.
There is almost nothing immediately outside the ground, so eat and drink inside. Food huts sell pies, tea and coffee. Terry’s burger van sits behind the East Stand. The clubhouse, attached to the main stand, has bars and a fan zone; away fans are often welcome when segregation allows. The 2007 Fan Zone behind the East Stand has sold bottled drinks at recent games. The tuck shop under the scoreboard in the Jerroms Stand is the home-end staple. Programmes are frequently digital only.
Views from the away terrace are honest rather than plush: low roof, close to the goal, good for noise. Seats in the side stand give a wider look at the 102m by 64m pitch. Plan the last train home, especially on midweek nights, and keep an eye on M42 Junction 6 works if you are driving. Stewards are used to travelling support. If you need accessible seating or a guide dog space, email the club in advance. Check solihullmoorsfc.co.uk on match morning for turnstile numbers, parking codes and any change to the away allocation.
