Re: [ Sat 2nd Sep ] v Loughborough Dynamo, KO 3pm NPLD1M AWAY

Agreed, the 16-30 demographic of Rushden either don’t know the club exists, more interested in getting drunk on Friday nights, would rather sit at home and watch the premier league, or are hanging around causing trouble in Rushden High Street! I saw three or four in attendance at the last home game...

Re: Next 3 games

They generate a fair bit from their two 3G pitches and facilities hire. It is thought that the manager assists with the budget. Who paid for the 3G pitches and facilities? Surely the money generated would go straight to paying the £million off? Unless the local council have them a freebie or actual...

Re: [ Tue 25th Oct ] v Leiston FC, KO 7:45pm SLPDC AWAY

Is there nothing in the clubs constitution saying that supporters can request a manager be removed? He needs to go, and I mean completely, if what I’ve heard is true, he shouldn’t be anywhere near the club. Firstly just wanted to agree with AFCRDPete2011 - the discussion about the manager position ...

Re: [ Sat 22nd Oct ] v Mickleover FC, KO 3pm SLPDC AWAY

anybody know what's happened to fodden? Apart from having a shocker at hednesford, he hasn't been seen since. I do believe that he is on a contract as well He was at the game last weekend so is still around, guessing he is injured? Hard to work him out really, thought he had a great game at Barwell...

Re: [ Sat 15th Oct ] v Redditch Utd, KO 3pm SLPDC HOME

Been reading some of the replies in here and I have to say I am slightly surprised with the lack of patience and empathy for our new manager! We all knew coming off last weeks heavy defeat that todays game was about resilience and courage. Now although we suffered a 2-0 defeat I think there is some...

Re: Richard Maxwell Appointed Manager

There’s a lot of talk of toxic board members but Matt Ward certainly isn’t one. He’s a decent guy who reluctantly put himself forward when literally no one else would. The fact is, we don’t know What’s gone on with the recruitment process, how many were interviewed, who turned it down etc. it could...

Re: Richard Maxwell Appointed Manager

Can an emergency fans forum be held or could we arrange one ourselves and look at a no confidence vote or something. https://members.afcdiamondsshop.com/download/AFCRDConstitution.pdf 33.

Re: Someone has to start it

Sorry to be a bore but careful where we go on this one please, on a public forum. If people want to name names on this issue I'd suggest the co-chairman are contacted directly or it's discussed on the member's forum. Agree on sorting it out the right way, but why can’t names be shared? We’re all ha...

Re: Suggestion - Diamond Day

Great idea (other than holding it on a cup game - the reason this is a problem is the opposition would need to agree to any price reduction, whereas in a league game it's just the league who need to give approval, which they do not withhold unnecessarily). I volunteer to help with one of the initiat...

Re: General discussion thread - was Match Thread 6th Aug

I have volunteered in the past, specifically at The Dog & Duck. Including helping set up Dale’s bar (painting), and cleaning of the changing rooms after games. As for standing for election, I don’t have the time or know-how to be perfectly honest! So I’ll leave that to more able people. I do ap...
