The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I don't care how or where we get the points, lets just get them on the board ASAP and party for the rest of the season

I reckon promotion will be assured on Monday, sadly I'll miss it, but I'll be back for the trophy party ;)

Seriously, promotion must be gained at any cost and if that's Monday, Saturday or the following Tuesday, I don't care !! Let's just do it !!!!

Be so nice to see things go our way on Monday and us to wrap up the title against Welly though, big home crowd, perfect !!!! Can't happen, can it? ;)

Ps - I'm leaving Cornwall at 4am Saturday morning to ensure I'm back in time for ko ( and a beer beforehand obviously) ........... assuming I survive telling the wife that is ;)

Yeah, I don't mind where we make it certain either, the main thing for me is that the trophy party (unless there is a monumental ****up) is at home and will be a good crowd I'm sure, it was a slight shame our big game 2 years ago was away, if it had been home I'm sure it would have been 1000+.

Welly would be the perfect game to seal the title, however unlikely.

Stupid comment

er Why?

Why would I not want to see us win the league at Sileby? as I am unable to be at next two games.

Looking at the table if Thurnby drop points against Oadby (1pm KO) and Holbeach beat Wisbech (might be possible, they seem to suffering an injury/suspension crisis at the back), and we win tomorrow, we can win the title on Saturday against Wellingborough.

This could well be the case, I think Wisbech will not be too bothered about any match from now on, as we have wrapped up promotion, we're pretty much odds on to win the league and we knocked them out of the cup. They have nothing to play for. Holbeach might be prepared to save some pride and try to turn them over.. It is just Thurnby who are looking good for 2nd spot, we have to hope drop some points.

We are going up, we are going up.

Wisbech looked physically and mentally shattered yesterday. I would think the two tough games against us, conceding a late goal each time have taken a heavy toll. You could well be right Holbeach may turn them over.
Thurnby really are the leagues form side, if we still had to play them twice I'd be worried they might take the title.

Funny how many times over the course of the season that our title rivals have changed. First of all it was Huntingdon we were all worried about, then Yaxley, holbeach, Wisbech and although unlikely now, thurnby.

I agree it has been constant change for are title rivals, (we have been in form, where as are title rivals have been in and out of form) Thurnby is the in form team, glad we don't have to play them again.
