The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

TBH after last time I think everyone must be in agreement that they're due at least a result.

I think we'll lose. The FA Cup dream will be over.

I have full confidence in JE that we will win, and our record against them will be P-15 W9 D-5 L-1 in all competions!

Although im not lacking confindence going into this game. We shouldnt underestimate the scum because of that fantatsic record. Remember they have picked up 13 out of the last 15 points available too them!

TBH I really won't mind if we do lose, it's better to lose a local derby in the cup and now that we've got some form going in the league I'd rather we don't have any distractions going into December, which is a very big month for us.

Yes you would ;)

No I really wouldn't. ;) A K*ttering win is overdue, better for it to happen in the cup so that we can spank them at NP in January and pick up 3 valuable points after a very tough Christmas period.

I agree this is not the best time to be playing them, but look on the bright side we get half the gate money and they pick up the policing costs, unless i am mistaken.

The policing costs are taken from the gate money which is then spilt between the two teams apparently.

I like the FA Cup and I wanted somebody we wouldn't normally play. Anyone who is happy to lose an FA Cup tie needs shooting tbh. How would you react the winner got a fixture against Sheffield Wednesday, Southampton or Charlton away and was on TV?

This is what I was thinking, I don't like being pessimistic but I'm not confident, why oh why could we have not drawn Radcliffe Olympic or Tipton Town?! Still, can't believe we've drawn them!
