WORCESTER CITY have agreed a deal with Kidderminster Harriers that will see them play their home games at Aggborough next season.
City’s St George’s Lane ground is set to be demolished at the end of the current campaign, leaving the Conference North club without a permanent home.
Speaking about the arrangement, City vice-chairman Colin Layland said: “We really feel that this move allows Worcester City to retain some of its ambition but while also guarding its future.
“The board is extremely grateful to Mark Serrell and the board at Kidderminster for the help they’ve given us in setting up this agreement because it really does demonstrate a lot of County solidarity.
“Of course there is rivalry between the two clubs on the pitch but in truth this really does strengthen the relationship between the clubs.”
Harriers chairman Mark Serrell commented: “We’re very pleased to finally have this agreement in place at last because it’s probably been the world’s worst-kept secret while we’ve been going through negotiations!
“We have come to an arrangement that suits and benefits both parties but one of the overriding aspects of it for us at Kidderminster was the opportunity to help out one of our fellow local teams at what has been an incredibly difficult time for Worcester.”
