Kidderminster Harriers Independent Supporters Trust has called on fans to help the club raise £150,000 by the end of the month.

After a meeting with the board, the Trust issued a statement underlining the extent of the club's problems.

"Despite a tremendous amount of hard work our club still has major financial hurdles to overcome," it read.

"To survive, the club needs £150,000 before the end of the month and a further £50,000 by the end of January."

The current board, led by chairman David Reynolds and vice-chairman Mark Serrell, took over from Barry Norgrove in October.

We need anyone who can pledge amounts of £100 or preferably more now to come forward KHIST statement

The Supporters Trust's statement acknowledges that the new board has been working hard to turn around the Harriers' financial fortunes but also says that the directors desperately need help.

"Although costs are being looked at, so that the club is run in a sound financial manner going forward, without an immediate large cash injection the future of the club is uncertain," it said.

"We need anyone who can pledge amounts of £100 or preferably more now to come forward.

"KHIST are assessing all avenues that may be open to us and will continue to help the club where possible."
