Telford have lined up 10 games as well......

We're probably wondering if we can play Kaleidoscope XI after failing to arrange friendlies...

(this is a joke, before any of you clutch pearls, they do great work)

I would imagine we will hear something on this next week.

Has anyone heard any whispers on home friendly fixtures as yet??? I think a game against Cheltenham was mentioned???

What Cheltenhams under 23s?

Looking around clubs at our level there certainly seems to be a variation in timings for announcements of friendlies, season tickets, kits etc. Tbf, we have got the bulk of an announced squad together I suppose. And the grass on the pitch has been cut.

It's still only 13th June. Perhaps a couple of friendly matches to confirm and they'll announce STs and for friendlies all at once.

I heard a rumour we have a game at hednesford planned.
hopefully we'll hear the list in the next week as were mid june now.

Well its Wednesday - surely we will hear something in the next couple of days? Perhaps there is a media plan/timeline from the club.............? We might even get a mention in The Shuttle.

I was of the understanding that the office staff were back on furlough?
Who knows? Maybe an opportunity for "Harriers Voice" to communicate something? but not sure which edition it would be? April, May or June?

I'm told our pre-season fixtures will be announced tomorrow or Friday (don't hold me to that though).
Expect news on season tickets soon as well....... (possibly today......again don't hold me to it).


*absolves himself of all responsibility should the above not materialise......

Sadly, nothing KHFC related in this week's Shuttle. I know printed media doesn't have the sway it once did but there are still many in Kidderminster and the surrounding area who would be interested in news of season tickets, friendlies, squad news who may only get this information from the Shuttle. Is is the fault of the newspaper? Surely, they would print something if the club sent a decent press release? Is the issue the furlough of KHFC staff?

Not sure on that however worth noticing that in the worcester news, midland league worcester city who are now in the same league as Bewdley town have had a couple of summer signings reported by wn.

Worcester City 3 august 2021 away?

Hopefully we put our 1st team squad for this one as i read our u21 team got tanked 6-2 by Worcester City u21 team last week in a cup final ( not that our powers to be broadcast it.....unlike if we had won)
