CHAIRMAN Colin Youngjohns has insisted cash-strapped Kidderminster Harriers had no choice but to raise admission prices for next season.

Harriers are having to raise funds for the new east stand and general costs so supporters are being asked to dig deeper with individual match tickets up by £1.

Entry to the terraces will be £12 for adults and £7 for concessions, while seats in the main stand and east stand will be £15 and £10 for concessions. Children can sit in the family enclosures for £5.

Season tickets are cheaper if bought before June 7 and there will be new terrace deals for junior supporters announced next month. A six-month payment instalment plan is also available.

Adult terrace season tickets are £212, rising to £245 from June 9, while seats can be reserved for £277 which will increase to £310.

Standing for over-65s will cost £119, increasing to £144, and seats will be £177, going up to £205.

Students can pay £150 to sit for the season or £80 to stand before June 7, while U-16s pay £94 for a seat.

Youngjohns said: "We wanted to make it as painless as possible but we have no choice but to put the prices up."
