Talks: Barry Norgrove had a successful meeting with Stevenage chairman Phil Wallace.

HARRIERS have demanded a face-to-face meeting with officials from Wembley and the FA to finally resolve the wrangle which has prevented them from receiving the money from last May's FA Trophy Final.

The club has joined forces with Trophy winners Stevenage Borough after Harriers chairman Barry Norgrove had a meeting with opposite number Phil Wallace before last week's Blue Square Premier clash in Hertfordshire.

Both feel that the amount which Wembley wants the clubs to pay for the final's hospitality expenses is excessive.

Until the disagreement is settled the 10-month wait for their slice of cash from the finals' tickets sales, which was watched by a 53,000 strong crowd, will go on.

Harriers' solicitor, Oliver Hunt, has sent a letter to the FA requesting a meeting with officials to finally end the delay.

Norgrove said: "The meeting with Stevenage went very well and we're both singing from the same hymn sheet.

"Both Stevenage and ourselves compared figures we were given before the final and they are very different from what the people at Wembley want now.

"We want to sit down with them face-to-face and finally thrash this out."
