The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Two months! :( I can't wait that long.

As long as they are more organised than the UCL (which can't be that hard!!!) :lol: then I'm happy to wait for the fixtures.

9 am July 16th.

Be interesting if we drew Plops in the Red Insure cup! ;)

I think it'd be a disaster with where we are right now - it'd be nigh on impossible to segregate it and you'd have every headbanger an moron from Wellingborough, Rushden and K*ttering coming along to cause trouble, it'd cost a small fortune to Police/steward - I'd hate to see it and I think we dodged a bullet with them getting promoted, it's just the kind of potential clash we need to avoid right now!

Maybe a neutral venue would be an option, i.e. Sixfields

I imagine Steel park would be more cost effective if you could segregate it

I've seen segregation at Steel Park - when Corby played Kidderminster in the FA Cup a few years ago.

The problem with taking the Red Insure Cup seriously is that you could end up somewhere like Bideford or Tiverton on a Tuesday night. I believe you can actually opt out of the competition, or at least you could in years gone by.
