HARRIERS fans have the chance to play their part in Harriers on-pitch success with the launch of a new fundraising scheme.

The Red Army Fund, run in conjuction with the Kidderminster Harriers Independent Supporters Trust (KHIST), aims to generate money for players' wages.

KHIST has already pledged £1,000 to the scheme which has the backing of manager Mark Yates, while organiser Dave Weaver has donated the £500 proceeds from a sweepstake.

Weaver said: "The aims of the fund are quite simple - to raise money to improve the quality of the team on the pitch.

"Whether it be by funding a loan player's wages or paying the transfer fee for a new signing, the Red Army Fund gives fans the chance to directly affect the quality of the team on the pitch.

"If we all pull together to support this fund, we could not only turn round the performances on the pitch, but also help give the club a more stable financial footing to secure its future.

"It's not a bad return for a one-off donation or a monthly commitment of just a few pounds."
