HARRIERS CONFIRM BROWN ABSENCE

KIDDERMINSTER Harriers have confirmed they will be without the services of
midfielder Simon Brown for tomorrow's clash with Northampton Town.
West Bromwich Albion have accepted an initial bid from Mansfield Town late
last night, although it has believed the deal has yet to go through.
Despite this Brown won't be playing for Harriers tomorrow.
"As far as I understand Simon hasn't actually signed a contract with
Mansfield but he made it clear he wasn't in the right frame of mind to play
for us tomorrow even though technically still our player," boss Shaun
Cunnington said.
"I am disappointed he's decided to take this stance but I need I need 11
players out there tomorrow willing to spill blood for the cause. If Simon
didn't want to be part of that then we have to move on."
