The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I understand peoples views that our new club is not rivals with K*ttering as we haven't played them yet etc etc yes you are right but for me the rivalry will always be there. Not even taking into consideration all the awful things their fans did rock throwing etc on RDFC many many many wins there. They are the same club and supporters who took the RDFC signs off Nene Park and moved in and gloated while doing so and to think IL and KC were probably planning this move before RDFC had even folded still has a raw feeling. I know this is in the past and both clubs have moved on but the chance to maybe get one over them even if its is the Hiller cup I will enjoy it. I like everyone else on this forum love AFCR&D and couldn't be prouder for what we have achieved and where we are heading. Lets get as many to the final as possible and sing loud and proud whatever the score!!

I see the NFA have now backtracked on the previous date of April 12th. Any idea as to why?

Same clubs. Same fans. Same rivalry. Same hatred. Same desire to win on the 12th as those rainy evenings at the Rockinghorse. If I'm being perfectly honest I reckon I'll be more excited on the train upto the game than I was on both the Dover and Barwell commutes.

There's so much more to this game after what happened at Nene Park and what's happened with the two clubs. Yes it's the county cup, but it's still a HUGE game for this football club and the players should be left in no doubt just how much this will mean for the diehard fans who spent 15 years consistently hammering that village outfit up the A6.

According to Twitter that date isn't available.

Would of assumed that Northampton were at home that night but their fixture list says different

It doesn't have to be the pitch which is causing problems, the ground is used for functions which could mean that a key area is not available.

Thanks for that, I didn't know weather you seen it on a different Twitter. With reason for date change.

We've not playing on the 12th April, never are K*ttering, and nor are Northampton. It's really odd the date change, I wonder why the date change.
