Bulls Aid Kidderminster Finances
Kidderminster have eased their financial worries for the remainder of the season - by selling part of their ground to the Bulls.
Graham Turner attended a recent meeting in Birmingham with developers Richardsons and solicitors over the redevelopment of Edgar Street, but a fourth un-announced presence at the meeting was Kidderminster Chairman Barry Norgrove.
Believed to be only the second case of it's kind, the Bulls will demolish the Blackfriars End terrace within days of the play-off home match - and replace it with the South Stand from Aggborough.
Northwich used the Danebank, a terrace from their old Drill Field home, in their new Victoria Stadium to cut costs by around £750,000. Both the Danebank and Harriers South Stand were built by the same construction firm, who will be drafted in to oversee the project. Both stands are sectional, and can be easily dismantled and transported to a new location.
The Bulls are believed to have paid around £120,000 for the stand itself, and the Richardsons will underwrite the cost of transportation and rebuilding at Edgar Street - believed to be around £150,000. The 'new' stand will free up around a quarter of an acre of development space at the Blackfriars End, with the Richardsons due to submit planning for offices on the site within weeks.Harriers will use part of the money to create a small tarmac terrace on the current South Stand site, using the rest of the site as car-parking, and use the remaining funds to shore up their finances after falling gates left the club dangerously short at the bank. Away fans will be transferred to the East Stand.
