The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I assume it relates to their big FA Cup game the following weekend.

Very nice of us to help Banbury, assuming that's the case. Perhaps they could return the favour and stop signing players from us.

I was looking forward to that game knowing they would probably be more focused on their FA Cup game.

Only 1 ex Diamond at Banbury at the moment or is something happening that’s not public knowledge yet

I’m sure everyone was expecting this game to be postponed, league supporting one of it’s Clubs had to happen.

I think this is a reference to last season.

I think you are letting your new affections cloud your judgement.. 99% of us were hoping to take advantage of the situation. I guess we can expect Hayes and Yeadings game on Tuesday to be postponed also then.

Given they are going to Carlisle on the Saturday yes of course the league and Harrow should agree to H&Y not having to play next Tuesday.
And please don’t f in patronise me about affections, having watched Diamonds since 1996 on over probably 700+ occasions at academy, youth, first team for Both incarnations I believe I’m able to form a balanced opinion and also am entitled to a view regardless of where a family member may currently be playing his football.

Think Sam is on one his 4 holidays a season till the Wednesday so guess that's played a part.... Lol
