The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Now confirmed as being off - https://www.afcdiamonds.com/fa-trophy-u ... cancelled/

MATCH OFF

Fair play to the board and everyone involved, handled very well with a perfect response with that statement. Not sure the Ilkeston fans are taking it very well...

Already received notification from ticketsource of refund. Well done to them.

They even have the cheek to suggest the Banbury game was called off because of covid. And still say "further players" when it was only one. Shame we have no game tomorrow but at least the club have been completely vindicated and we have Mondays draw to look forward to and £2500 in the bank.

According to a local Ilkeston reporter they were not bothered about this game as they have a big league match to play on Tuesday and were going to put out a weakened team anyway. How ironic it would be if as expected a total UK lock down comes into play this week.

A poor effort at deflection. If they really believe this then they'll not play again this season.
Anyway, when's the draw for the next round?

Presumably Monday, usually around 1pm. I think it is still Steps 3 and 4 involved
