The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Some more fixtures now on the Full-Time site.

Looks like these so far

Deeping Home 3/1
Desborough Away 6/1
Oadby Away 10/1

Oadby on the 10th Jan eh? Isn't that about the date they won the league ;) :lol:

Not sure why we need to play Desborough on a tuesday in January. Surely this could be played either
on a Saturday, or midweek in March or April. Both sides are well ahead of their fixtures..

Desborough already played 20 games and we will have played 23 by Jan 1st. and neither have Vase commitments.

Must be some sort of league rule that we can only play Desborough on a midweek! :? Probably be called off anyway

Being a kind considerate sort of guy. I feel sorry for teams like Desboro and Cogenhoe who both last season and this play us midweek in Nov/Jan. Missing out on a good payday for what would be a local derby.

Appears the Desborough game planned for the 6th Jan has been pushed back. What a sensible decision that was.

Game on 6th Jan now deferred

I may not get everything right, but it would appear I am spot on with this one.

Games at home to Harborough and Sleaford now added too - with the Harborough home game in midweek.

Delighted to see some common sense prevail - 4 games in 10 days when we're bang on schedule with our fixtures was just plain daft and demonstrates yet again why we need to get out if the UCL as soon as possible !! I mean if you didn't know better you'd think they wanted to make it hard for us eh? ;)

I'd have preferred to have played on 1st, 6th and 10th though - 2 games in 3 days on what is sure to be a heavy pitch isn't great is it?
