Grounds
The Harriers' first home ground was a park pitch in Bartley Green, followed by a similar pitch in Kingstanding. In 1969 the club began a ground share arrangement at the home of Halesowen Town. Coinciding with the switch from Sunday to Saturday play in 1984, the club opened a new ground at Park Road in Halesowen, which had a capacity of 4,000, with 350 seats. The highest attendance registered at the ground was 672 for a friendly against Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1988.

Deep in the grounds of a burnt-out hotel,
Among the bathtubs and the washbasins
A thousand mushrooms crowd to a keyhole.”
