The Harriers fans pulled out all the stops today in an effort to get tomorrows festive game against Newport County. Rallying round to calls from the club they arrived in their droves at Aggborough this morning to clear the remaining snow from the frost covers and on the terracing. Earlier in the week the groundstaff had been in clearing the approaches to the stadium.Now all we need is a frost free night and three points to reward the taskforce.
We'll be without Mike Williams for the game as he is still recovering from the recent operation to his foot. Jamille Matt has a bit of a hamstring problem and will undergo last minute checks tomorrow morning while Lee Vaughan will be missing through suspension.
County should be at full strength for the game and with a host of ex Harriers at their disposal it looks like we'll be seeing quite a few of them making an appearance. Sam Foley is fit after a mystery bug had knocked him for six but Lee Baker, who has yet to play a game for them since joining in the close season, will be missing for the remainder of the season with a foot injury.
Lee Matthews is there too after joining the Welsh side soon after the start of this season as did Darryl Knights. Both players seem to have settled in well there. Another ex Harrier who joined them a couple of years ago is Paul Bignot.
County are just two places and four points above us in the League. Tomorrow is a great chance to close that gap to just one point and fifth in the table.
