Now if it came to an official Name change as far as i'm aware they would not be able to use the name K*ttering as they would then have to change it to belong to the Conurbation the team plays, so the team would be called Irthlingborough Diamonds or Town.

Now that would be strange!

Yes its strange how often the world can go full circle

Talk about gutted for all those who drive past on a regular basis watch the ground disintegrate before your very eyes, and why are fans doing all the work I thought KC said that he was spending £100,000 on revamping the ground or was that another tall story? :evil:

Can we all try and not now post any more photos?! It's not nice. :(

I deal with Contractors and £100000 is not a lot of work/equipment/labour for the work that was needed, the surrounding infrastructure was poor and shabby, the contractors who replenished the exhibition centre roof removed a dozen or so balls which were restricting the water getting down the downpipes and thus causing a leak.

Vast areas needed painting, block work all uneven, fences around pitch 2, the general stuff that had been ignored for years all adds up.

The AWP is a wreck, the fence around it too is knackered in places.

I don't suppose anyone has thought about removing Duane's brick in Diamond Way? He wouldn't want it to adorn a facility now being used by a team he utterly despises, would he?

It still wouldn't be the club I have supported for 40 years.
They've lost all credibility now by giving up playing in their home town, so cannot be regarded as a K*ttering team anymore.

On their first 'home' game i would be more than happy to stand outside the PDB and call each and everyone of them a 'scab' and a plastic fan!!! but im not going to waste my time on them.

Definitely, accidently stumbled across a picture of the whole AW on poppynet, feel a bit sick now, wish it was photoshopped :(

And rushdenshireelite, to be fair to them its not like its their fault, maybe do it outside the boardroom or something and do it to KC and IL!
