The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

5 losses in a row for Corby and Sammo resigns!

500 attendance. Such a round figure seems suspicious. They're now 9 points from safety. I think they'll see the season through.

I think that attendance may have been swelled by quite a few who said they wouldn't attend but changed their mind to pay their respects to Dylan Cecil.
Talking of attendances just 384 at Steel Park today. I can see their attendances dropping to around 250.

I don't think the attendance at Corby will drop much more to be honest Trek.Corby's defending is shocking and has to be put right.Sammo won't be missed I hope Crowe follows him,he is bloody useless and was responsible for at least 2 of the goals today.Congrats to Afc R&D on another win today.

What makes you think that? Not even the biggest attendance in the Southern League, fans turning up for Dylan Cecil so it'll probably drop again, 3 players already moving on & the majority of their squad non-contract, GR reported budgeting on 700 before getting banned and reports that no corporate hospitality taking place. IL has stated he's there cos they're still losing money hand-over-fist. Just a gut feeling Rob?

I really can't see them surviving the season either, their best hope was a good, winning team to get the crowds in and they haven't been able to do that and seemingly little success in 'sweating the facilities', how on earth they'll survive past Christmas I do not know. No chance I imagine without someone putting money into the club.

Oh, and I guess they're not on the 20k a month GR budget if they're all NC :lol:

Just a gut feeling. They're like someone who's brain-dead but being kept alive on a life-support machine. For all intents and purposes they're dead at NP, but the machine is plugged in and someone is that machine - Cousins and Hill/Ladak/Rolls...

A big week for them with wages and rent due.

Yes..apparently another statement due this week Ploppies fans fearing the worst

Gary Graham, the guy who signed their CVA, has resigned as director. I think that leaves Ladak as the sole director.
