The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

No really big top of table clashes on Boxing Day but we have a "Super Saturday" coming up as Diamonds host Biggleswade, Kings Lynn play K*ttering and Stratford play Stourbridge. On New Years day we have the biggie for us, Banbury play Alvechurch, Biggleswade v Stratford, Needham M v Kings Lynn.

I wonder will anyone get all nine points?

Currently eight teams could be ahead of us if they all won their games in hand, but of course that cant.

I would be content with five points but am hoping for nine and expect us to be in the top six or seven at 5 pm on 1st Jan .

It will be interesting to see how Stratford get on with these more challenging fixtures. They have become the form side in the division since Thomas Baillie took over. Quite why K*ttering forced him out after he won them promotion is a mystery.
