Worcester City welcome St Albans to St. George's Park on Monday

Worcester City's manager Richard Dryden says the off-the-field problems at St George's Lane should not have an impact on the squad.

Dryden told BBC Hereford and Worcester he's done his best to shield the players from the boardroom battles.

"There were a lot of things going on but we've tried to keep the players away from everything," he said.

"We want them to enjoy their football, and there's a massive positive feeling around the squad."

Worcester have strengthened by signing the former Stafford Rangers striker Marco Adaggio, who had been on trial at Kidderminster Harriers.

They have also agreed terms with 20-year-old midfielder Jordan Fitzpatrick who was on the books at Hereford United last season.

For City, the Blue Square South will be something of a leap into the unknown as a reorganisation of the leagues saw them transferred from Blue Square North at the end of last season.

Richard Dryen admits this had presented a few logistical difficulties for him, but he has managed to call in a few favours so that City can be as well prepared as possible.

"Gary Harris has been to watch a couple of games in the Bristol area when we were looking for players, while Jason Dodd has looked at a couple on the south coast.

"We're getting as much help as we can in and around the southern area."
