The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Apparently Basford have a few injury concerns, including to ex-league veteran Martin Curruthers. I still think they're the favourites, if we are not top of our game we will get beaten. They're not top of their league for nothing, and apparently have a money-man splashing the cash.

It's a cup game so anything can happen they recently got beaten at Lutterworth who didn't seem too out of our league in the psf.
I think Gearing might just hold the key.
Looking forward to radio diamonds keepin me up to date as I have a family get together which I couldn't get out of.
Failing that a replay would be cool!!

As it's all pay, how about a prediction on tomorrow's attendance?

I'll go for 675.

Not sure we'll get a bigger attendance than last week tbh as its still early on in the competition, but would be happy with over 600.

If our big crowd get behind the lads they are worth a goal

Be interesting to see how many Basford bring with them, it`s not THAT far after all.
I predict a crowd of top 400s-low 500s.Depends on the weather.
For me, it`s not a question of whether I`ll turn up or not because of the weather, but how many layers I`ll have to put on.

My Duffell coat may be making it's seasonal bow. ;)

can't believe it will be less that Burton PW

Winter draws on! :lol:

I see that Basford are only averaging 63 for their home league matches so we can hardly expect them to bring many fans. Perhaps a handful on the team bus. This despite being second in their division behind Barrow Town.
