The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I'm also hoping to make it to that game. Who are we supporting?

Just to let you all know, I understand that AFC R&D do not expect to have any players representing Rothwell Town tomorrow afterall.

Shame because I was looking forward to visiting Wootton and adding another ground to the list.

If anyone wants to see some top quality football then come and watch me play in goal for Islip Utd Ressies :lol: We are at home to Harborough A.

Sadly my appointment ran over, so no footy for me today :(

......oh, and heard our lads weren't playing at Wootton so had decided I'd hack over to St Neots afterall - I missed a 9-2 win for the Saints I understand, just my luck :roll:

Just got back from Irchesterv Long Buckby where we were about 25% of the crowd (11 of us) and Long Buckby won 6-0

Just got back from Corby. They lost 2-1 to the last kick (or header) of the game. I'd have said a draw would have been a fair result.

Six ex-Diamonds on display. Gulliver, Gordon, McDonald and McKenzie for Corby, Bastock and Jelleyman for Boston.

I thought it was a poor crowd at Corby with Boston being there, it was about 550 i think

Corby's form has dipped dramatically and their top scorer has left the club. The home attendances have suffered as a result. There wasn't THAT many from Boston considering it's probably one of the more local away games. Maybe 100-150 max.

Unfortunately they are suffering with extremely poor home form and today's loss is their 8th loss at Steel Park in the league whereas they have only lost one game away from home!
This obviously does not help to attract the floating supporter in the Corby area hence the disappointing crowd today.
