05-07-23 : Harriers kick it all off with Woking at home

The Harriers will be getting their 2023-24 season underway by welcoming Woking FC back to Aggborough for the first time since October 2015. Our old friends from Surrey were always a big attraction for Harriers fans and they’ll be looking forwards to renewing old acquaintances on Saturday August 5th just as much as Woking fans will be.

The history between the two clubs goes back a long way to 1990 and includes numerous FA Cup games as well as a FA Trophy Final at Wembley back in 1995 that we sadly lost in the dying minutes of the game. 

We’ll be drawing the curtain on the season with a trip down to North London for a first ever visit to The Hive, the home of Barnet FC. Again we have a long history with them when they played at their old Underhill ground and, as with Woking, our last meeting was in 2015.

In between those two we have the mystery of why the League have given us Boreham Wood over the Christmas period when we have both Solihull Moors and Oxford City closer to home. Boxing Day looks like it’s going to be a poorly attended affair down there with many fans reluctant to travel so far on a day when they would rather be with the family.

Solihull will be playing Chesterfield over the same period while Oxford and Dorking Wanderers will be playing each other. All the other National League sides will be playing locally apart from Dagenham and Redbridge FC and Eastleigh so we won’t be alone.

Anyway I’ll get the fixture list sorted asap along with the downloadable files for your calendars.
