Harriers have 'fingers crossed' that Hatters clash will happen

A preliminary pitch inspection at Aggborough has left Kidderminster Harriers hopeful that tomorrow's FA Trophy third round clash with Luton Town will go ahead despite freezing conditions.

A statement on the Worcestershire club's website said: "Temperatures have risen slightly and gradually over the course of the day and as such, the majority of the surface is in good condition - though as ever the South Stand end is a little firmer.

"The club is giving the game every possible chance of going ahead and as such any final decision will be delayed until the morning with the heaters on standby if required.

"Much depends, of course, on the kindness of overnight conditions in Kidderminster, so it's a case of 'fingers crossed' for now."
