The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

This isn't directly connected to the main debate about ticket prices, but I was curious to see the demographics of our esteemed forum users ;)

My first game was in the South Stand but since then I've only ever been in the terrace. The atmosphere is better and I prefer standing. I also prefer the view, even if it isn't as good for watching the game as the other stands.

I've been in all area's of the stadium at some point, but I think since the start of the football league days (2001) I've been standing in the de banke.

Ive watched 98% of matches from the De Banke over the past 16 seasons

Started in the DeBanke when I was a young lad, moved into the AirWair until it closed, moved to North Stand and now back into the DeBanke.

Started everywhere (before segregation! ), moved to the North Stand, then finally to the DeBanke.

North stand prior to 2001, season ticket holder in the Airwair stand during our league glory days, and for the last 5 years or so in the De Banke.

Started out with a season ticket in the North Stand in 2002/03, been in the PDB since then.

I think it's fair to call this section of the forum "The Terrace", then... ;)

Indeed.

It's funny when you look back on it. I've got some good memories from all areas of the ground. I've only been in the AirWair once, but I used to go down that end at half time when it was just another terrace. I'll be honest, I do miss the view sometimes from the North Stand to watch the game, but that I enjoy the atmosphere of the terrace and being behind the goal to see the goals go in.
