Harriers chief Lionel Newton made another plea to Wyre Forest people to support the club following last week's annual meeting.

Newton feels Harriers need a 4,000 to 4,500 average to become a real force in the Third Division and then survive at a higher level.

The Barnet clash attracted 2,585 - their lowest league gate so far.

Meanwhile, a £212,563 loan yet to be repaid to former chairman David Reynolds was brought up at the meeting. Director Richard Painter said: "Negotiations are ongoing to hopefully resolve the situation."
