Chairman Barry Norgrove has given his latest update from the Boardroom at Aggborough Stadium with March 2010 now consigned to the history books.

It's been a rocky month out on the pitch for Harriers as the side has hit a patch of struggle as far as form is concerned prior to last night's win over Cambridge, but the Chairman rightfully remains upbeat.

It seems that positivity is spreading from the manager's office upwards, and all around for that matter! Boss Steve Burr praised for retaining his calm and collected demeanor in the face of a month less than enjoyable when compared to his first here at the club.

"We are really pleased with Steve - he is the same character whenever you see him, rain or shine," says Mr. Norgrove.

"We've lost a few games but as a manager he is still upbeat and going forward, and he works hard to keep the players upbeat alongside him.

"He's freshening things up and trying to generate a really good atmosphere and we know he'll get there.

"We've been working with him to bring in a couple of players as one or two have gone out and we believe he's doing a wonderful job.

"We know we're approaching a stage now where we won't be able to reach the play-offs - though it's not impossible - and if that's the case then he is already working hard towards next season where he can build and produce his own team.

"We'll try and make sure we have a budget in place to get the kind of players he wants and go forward with things."

"He wants to achieve things, we want to achieve things and we are confident we can help each other do that."

Whilst there will of course be further addresses both as the season ends and whilst the summer rolls on, the review for March is likely to be the last during the throws of competitive action, with the season due to end on April 24.

Looking back over the course of 2009/10, the Chairman was again full of praise - this time for the 'incredible' fans who have backed Harriers over the course of another term.

Eastbourne away has come and gone and the trips to Gateshead and Barrow loom ominously on the horizon, but it will take more than that to faze the fans who are clearly Harriers through and through.

"Overall we have not had a bad season - we didn't have a good time of it in the FA Cup but we had a tremendous run in the Trophy and were there or there abouts with the play-offs for a very long time," he adds.

"For a club our size and with what we're paying out in comparison to what the bigger clubs are paying, I think we've done tremendously well.

"The fans have been brilliant - our loyal fans are just incredible and they have really taken to Steve, just as Steve has to them.

"They are behind the team home or away, you only had to look at the support they gave the players at Stevenage in the second leg to know that."

One of the biggest talking points of March 2010 was of course Chester City. With the Deva Stadium outfit now no more - re-born by fans as Chester FC recently - the news dominated the scene both at non-league level and above.

Talk of an appeal from a band of clubs to challenge the expunging of City's playing record - which had originally included Harriers until they withdrew - was dismissed by the Football Association as 'too late' on March 30, but it's clear the effects of the whole saga will be ongoing.

And, given they are unlikely to be the last club to ever face such severe difficulties, Norgrove has rallied on the Football Conference to meet with the remaining member clubs to lay down some 'ground rules' to help protect the clubs both directly involved and indirectly affected.

The Chairman concludes: "We feel all of the clubs in the Blue Square Premier should get together for a meeting with the Conference.

"That is something that is needed quite quickly so that we can get some rules put down to cater for clubs like Chester who are having such trouble.

"There are going to be a lot of clubs experiencing the sort of problems they just haven't had over the last several years.

"We hold our hands up because we voted to expel Chester from the League originally but it's clear now that doing that is all well and good, but there is a lot of aftermath.

"We weren't put straight in the first instance what would happen with regards to points, results, cards, goals and what have you, and quite a few things have now come to light and it has caused disturbances for a number of clubs.

"So something needs to be set, clearly, so that every club can be put directly in the picture with regards to what will happen to them if they mis-manage."
