Hopefully with as many interceptions too ;)

Quoth Sausage re their search for a manager:

Bless them, before England v Sweden is shown at Nene Park they're showing RDFC v KTFC 2011. I wonder if they'll show the other derbies before the other game... :mrgreen:

You could have 140 years of no achievement, or twenty years of glorious victories, you decide.

Would love it if somebody could switch the DVDs, sneak one of the classics in and hide their one minor success.

Am I alone in thinking that this is actually quite a sick stunt? Is this how Rolls builds bridges with the local community, the man is a total fuckwit.

I wouldn't get worked up over it Chorlton. Let's face it, they don't have that much else to crow about; living 8 miles outside of the town that's supposed to be their home, in the Southern League (which one, no one knows since it hasn't been confirmed yet!), starting next season with a 10 point deduction with a crook at the helm and the possibility of John Beck's football! Completely ripping off local creditors whilst boasting about a £20k a month playing budget, along with £12.5k rent and £10k utilities and still talking about getting back to the Conference...

"We're all standing on a future block of flats" - I can vividly remember singing that and it still makes me laugh when I think about it. :D

What it does show is they can't let the rivalry die just as much as we can't! Despite their claims to the contrary.

Bless em, takes their minds off things grasping at one of the few happy memories they have of playing us I guess - I think we've got a lot more happy memories of playing them eh? If any ex-Diamond was contemplating even for a second going along there to watch them, I hope this makes them stop and think.

There will probably only be about 6 people there anyway and they'll quietly stop doing it for the other games.
