The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Already looking forward to Southern Central 17/18 season, know it's early, but where do you thing we'll finish.

I'm going with my heart, Champions.

When does the Southern Central league fixtures, come out???

Last season on a similar poll I voted for mid-table because on paper the Northern League looks really strong. I think it is hard to ignore that on paper this season's league looks weaker than the last two. That's not to say that they won't be two or three teams that will emerge during the season as real title contenders, I don't expect us to run away with it. However I do think this is our best chance in the 3 seasons we have been at this level to seriously push for the title. Promotion has to be the aim this season.

We'll finish 2nd this year... so none of the above

I believe they have made a slightly fairer change from the original proposal.
Originally of the teams that are runners up in the play off finals, the team with the best points per game (ppg) from the regular season was to be promoted.

The new proposal gives automatic promotion to the best ppg team finishing third in the regular season.

Not officially announced yet but it looks like Callum Westwood's staying on for next year!

Also joining is Darryl Smith from Newport Pagnell.
