WORCESTER City would look to close the terraces at Aggborough for midweek matches should they agree a new two-year deal with Kidderminster Harriers.

The Conference North club are currently considering a number of options for a temporary home beyond the end of this season.

As well as an offer from Harriers, they are also pondering proposals from Evesham United and Bromsgrove Sporting, with a decision needed before the end of March.

But officials are keen to make sure any deal is financially sustainable for City as they prepare for a third season away from Worcester.

When it comes to Aggborough, stewarding costs are an issue and City feel that closing all areas of the stadium apart from the main stand for midweek matches, which attract lower crowds than Saturday games, is an option to save money.

They would, however, continue to open the terraces on Saturdays and all four sides of the ground when segregation is needed, as it was for last weekend's 2-0 victory over Stockport County.

Chairman Anthony Hampson explained: "Supporters will know that over the last two years, one of the club’s concerns has been the costs associated with stewarding our home games.

"This has been the subject of discussion with colleagues at Kidderminster and we fully appreciate the reasons why the current levels of stewarding are necessary.

"Should we take up a further two-year option at Kidderminster we will not be considering closing the terraces for all games as a matter of course. The board would wish to continue to give supporters the option of sitting or standing at home games. But supporters must appreciate that there is a cost implication.

"In many cases attendances at midweek league games have been between 300 and 400. On these occasions it is difficult, from a purely financial point of view, to justify opening the main stand and terraces.

"Therefore, the board feels that it would be right to consider whether we should consider only opening the main stand for those games when we anticipate a lower than average attendance."

The City chief continued: "The club values the support it continues to receive whilst in exile.

"Supporters can be re-assured that the club will continue, wherever possible, to accommodate the needs and wishes of our loyal supporters.

"However, any decision it takes will always be in the longer term financial interests of the football club and, at times, this can be a difficult balance to achieve."

Meanwhile, the club say they are still looking at dates for an extraordinary general meeting for shareholders to vote on the club's constitution.

The supporters' trust want to become the majority shareholder so they can create a community club and gain access to funding grants.
