A couple of years ago we had the same situation when we were drawn against Bradford Park Avenue in the FA Cup and just about getting through to the next round following a replay then, blow me, we only go and draw then in the Trophy a month later and go crashing out. We hoped that might never happen again but how wrong we are.
It was just over a month ago now, but seems like an eternity, that we went limping out of the FA Cup at the War Memorial Ground in a spineless display that saw us exit 3-0. The team left the field to booing and catcalls as the long suffering Harriers fans made their feelings plain to see. That game was truly a low point in the once proud history of Kidderminster Harriers and now we have to face it all over again.
But this time we will not fail!
