Kidderminster Harriers 0-0 Peterborough United

Saturday 4th January

FA Cup 3rd Round

Attendance: 3,800

Admission: £14/£5 - Adults/Children (Terrace)

As a non-league supporter I have supported non-league clubs in the FA Cup such as Altrincham in their campaign last season but today was a different experience, being amongst the Peterborough fans when they visited Skrill Premier side Kidderminster Harriers.

Kidderminster Harriers, formed 1886 play in the Skrill Premier and their home is at Aggborough which is a 6,250 capacity with two seated stands along the lengths of the pitch and two terraces behind both goals. The Peterborough fans were placed in the South Stand terrace with some seated in the East Stand, with around 800 making the journey across to Kidderminster.

The admission in the terrace was £14 for Adults and £5 for children, which was no increase from their league prices so it’s pretty good value for when a league side but maybe less so in the league games. Around there ground there is large amounts of parking though it was quite expensive but it was good to see it facilitate for the large crowd at the game.  When we got in the ground we picked up ‘The Harriers’, the match programme on offer at Aggborough, the professional programme with good content but some mistakes when it came to the Peterborough line up. There were many adverts but the 52 paged programme is good value at £3 and on par with all the football league programmes.

The game itself was very entertaining despite the misleading 0-0 result may suggest, there was a near full crowd and a good atmosphere from both supporters.

At half-time we sampled the food at Aggborough. We went for the ‘Famous Aggborough’ which is loved by all except I didn’t like it. It was so hot so whilst waiting for it too cool down it had skin growing on top. We went back got a pie and they were out of the Cottage pie so we went to a Cheese, Onion and Potato. It was nice  and massive but because of the size it becomes boring after a while. For the size £4 is good but I would much rather a pie half the size at £2. So the Admission/Programme/Pie combo in the terrace is £21 which was very good for the entertaining game and the calibre of the away side in comparison to their normal league games.

Overall a nice ground but there didn’t seem to be anything special to this day out and famous food was quite disappointing.
