The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Why a 7.30pm KO at a mid-week game? Rhetorical question as it's the nfa who have set it - but that extra 15 mins you usually get is a great help sometimes for folk rushing over from work!

I presume we'll get more tickets if we sell the initial 600 ? The North stand is the home one behind the goal isn't it? I presume the big west stand will be full of the cake munchers and hangers on but opened up if needed??

I'd like to think we could take 600 to this one !

Assuming that K*ttering fans will be in the South Stand and will be given the same number of tickets, that seems like a blatant attempt to keep police/stewarding costs to an absolute minimum at the expense of a decent atmosphere. It will also mean that people wanting to go to this game now won't be able to despite the fact there will be 3-4000 empty seats. Those allocations are not high enough.

I believe K*ttering have been allocated the main stand with both clubs given 600 tickets

When it says tickets available on the day does that mean the remainder of the 600 or general admission so anybody gets in?

How many does that north stand hold?

I think 600 each is probably about right to begin with. They can always add more if necessary.

I googled it and it holds 1000

With UNRESERVED seating this is reduced to 900.

I can't see them restricting tickets, they'll want to make as much out of this as they can, more will be released I'm sure if these sell out - I'm surprised a little they didn't push it back until early May and play it on a Saturday, the crowd would increase greatly - but I guess either of the finalists could be involved in play off games.

Just glad to be in a final and it being against the old enemy just adds a shine to it.
