City to end Aggborough stay in May

Worcester Editorial 1st Mar, 2016 Updated: 19th Oct, 2016   0

WORCESTER City have revealed the club will end their ground share with Kidderminster Harriers at the end of the season.

Under the terms of its existing ground share agreement, football chiefs have formally advised Kidderminster Harriers Football Club the club will not be taking up its option for an extension to the current arrangement.

City will therefore leave Aggborough at the end of the current season.

Chairman Anthony Hampson said “Worcester City Football Club has thoroughly enjoyed its stay at Aggborough and is extremely grateful to the Directors (and former Directors) at Kidderminster Harriers for the assistance they have given to us as a football club.




“I would particularly like to pay tribute to the office and backroom staff who have been so helpful to us.

“There is no doubt that Aggborough is a first class venue in which to play football and one which we leave reluctantly.


“However, as a Board we have to look at the long term viability of the Worcester City Football Club.

“It is clear that with on-going delays surrounding our return to Worcester, remaining at Aggborough is un-affordable to us in the long term.

“We must therefore pursue other alternatives”.

Worcester City Football Club will keep supporters advised of arrangements to be put in place for next and future seasons.
