Following Saturdays game against Northampton Town fans were invited by KHIST (The Kidderminster Harriers Supporters Trust) to participate in a consultation process. It was felt that the Trust needed to gauge the feelings of the fans in the way that KHIST should move forward and also to present to the board a 'rough guide' to the fans concerns and views about what has been happening at Aggborough in recent weeks.
In meetings between the board and KHIST it was agreed that many fans have felt that we have been kept in the dark about boardroom events and the process of appointing a new manager. It was agreed that a degree of co-operation was needed but the board would reserve the right to preserve confidentiality.
To that end a poll was undertaken and the results are shown below.
