The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

The rugby team don't appear to have a game, so that is probably a top tip.

I know where Dan is coming from, I'm at the same stage with U18's, although not under the same spotlight.

Though the might still be stacks of cars and a Clubhouse full watching the TV, England V Australia starts at 2.30 I think.

True. Though the football team have their own, very pleasant, clubhouse and don't share with the rugby club, who also have their own.

I know it`s the parking issue I was thinking of, with people getting excited about available parking that may not exist. Do the football Club have sky, if not I presume no problem with going into the rugby Club to watch a bit of the game.

I don't know TBH. I don't think they have. They have 2 large screen TVs but the last time I was in there they were showing the Englan game on ITV.
BTW - for those that haven't been there before; the football clubhouse is at least 100 yds from the stadium!!

2nd XV are playing at home against Harborough 3rd XV, kick off 2.15pm.

Is this game going to be under threat? I see some other local games have already announced pitch inspections for the morning.

Gross exaggeration on 2 points, 100yds possible a bit more, and use of the word Stadium :lol: Long Buckby is without doubt a Rugby 1st Town, and football is played on the wet muddy bit between a selection of rugby pitches, that said they won UCL Prem 3 seasons back and they do have a ground, and we "got no ground"
In answer to BR, football is always under threat at Buckby, it`s heavy going in Sept so tomorrow will just be wet to sloppy.

Sadly I'll be missing this one due to work - hopefully get to listen to the second half on radio diamonds if it's on? At least I'll miss the traffic carnage eh? ;)

Does anyone know if the Long Buckby clubhouse has BT Sport, or if there are any decent pubs in the village?
