The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Well done dunk!!

Did you get the dugouts free?? We couldn't shift the nuts with the tools we had. Are they lift able if we get a few people down there??

Also, were you able to get the plaque off the wall in reception too ?? I'm thinking that's a chunk of skate set into the wall ??

We've got some awesome fans haven't we??

to be fair jim the lads that were down there were brilliant,,,,the plaque is off the wall ,IN ONE PIECE i chipped the plaster away,with another chaps help(sorry i dont know his name,but nice guy)and he put a chisel behind it and it almost fell off ....the dugouts are another thing,,,,they are free,,,but they are made of steel not alloy as i thought...it may be possible to lift them,but it will require a lot of people(young with no bad backs etc)id say about 20 to be safe,this is my view

700 seats? Bloody well done, we must have close on 1000 in total now for the club.

If we used a crane we would be in trouble with the owners for damaging his immaculate pitch

It is possible to unbolt them and take them In Sections - a lot of faffing about tho!

We just didn't have the right tools on Thursday, I only had a screwdriver and a hammer and was worried about cracking it !! Great job, well done!!

There were plastics benches from the changing rooms that might be of some use, not sure what they're like at Hayden road?

We had a specific list of pre-approved items that we were able to take and store offsite, and we have done most of that. There may be a few items that we can speak to the Demo guys about which we are doing.

If you are free to help at Nene Park this week please let me know your availability (membership@afcdiamonds.com)

The plan is to work Tuesday/Wednesday but there may be other days too

We do have a couple of volunteers who can attend but need lifts to NP. If you can help please let me know
