AFC Rushden and Diamonds announces first trials date

[The Godfather]

Out of interest (and please be serious) where would you like to see AFC play?

Spencer Park. There is a lot of land there, and it can be developed. (it will never happen though...)

Let's be realistic here. Unless anyone's got a spare few million to buy Spencer Park, secure planning permission and put the facilities in place for at least UCL level, all in the space of less than a year it's not going to happen

Did you ever go to Histon??? ;)

Raunds, Thrapston & Wellingborough were the ones suggested. I'm not keen on any of them!

Raunds would be my preferred option out of that lot.

Raunds Town have a 1st Team & Reserve team, plus Youth Football all being played on that pitch. It's not going to happen.

Didn't Raunds offer their facilities though for us? I think Raunds is the best option from those suggested personally.

Tbh, if I won that, I'll buy Nene Park to evict the Cuckoos. Then it would be up to the fans what they want to do with it at that point.

Wellingborough would be mine - better local transport links and a larger population to attract as fans.

Who's making the decision on who makes the cut etc?

True, but I think the facilities at Raunds are much better than Wellingborough.

The most important thing the AFC needs for now is to keep the momentum going and persuade as many people to follow it as possible. If half the RDFC fan base could be persuaded to follow the AFC it would be a massive boost and difficult to ignore locally.

dog and duck has loads of games on it and doesn't stand up to the weather.
raunds looks a better bet.
