The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Lee??? Hmmm.
You can ask any question you like. Doesn't mean you'll get an answer.

That's a shame they can't be bothered but that's hardly the club's fault. We're putting a winning team on the pitch and if that can't persuade ex Supporters along what can we do?

I'm not going to publicly give the reasons that I've heard recently, suffice to say it's not the football on display.

At least part of that is probably down to the fact that for those who live in Rushden, the Woof & Quack is far enough away to make 'casual' attendance tricky. If we can find a home in Rushden or within walking distance, I think there's a decent chance that attendances will go up - the building next door making it tricky for parking doesn't help either!

The other day I took half an hour from the roundabout to the school. That puts people off too.
