KIDDERMINSTER Harriers are put-ting the final touches to their plans for a new stand at Aggborough.

The proposed structure, on the railway side of the ground, will include 2,400 seats and will cost £1.3million.

Harriers chairman Lionel Newton said: "The plans have now been sent to the Football Foundation and hopefully they will very soon give us the go ahead to put these plans out to tender.

"As soon as the Football Foundation have agreed we have met all the criteria we will then be able to show our supporters in the programme what the new stand will look like.

"What I will tell you us that it should have around 2,400 seats with refreshment facilities and a supporters' bar."

Newton said the club do not know yet exactly how much the new stand will cost but is expecting the figure to be between £1.1 and £1.3million.

He added: "We hope to get around 80 per cent of that cost paid for by the Football Foundation while the remainder we will have to find ourselves through corporate sponsorship or private funding."

Meanwhile, manager Jan Molby's men are heading for a hectic schedule after ending three weeks of Nationwide League Division Three inactivity today with a clash against Exeter City at St James' Park.
