The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Next up is our Boxing Day away fixture with Peterborough Sports

With no match on Tuesday 21st Dec, maybe a few people will take an advance early trip to Peterborough Sports to see two of our next 3 opponents in action, as they take on Banbury United.

Yesterday’s “non announcement”of any lockdown measures in England by the Government would seem to mean this game will be only dependent on the weather and the avoidance of any COVID outbreaks in the two camps, although the introduction of a blanket ban on spectators in Wales suggests such measures in England might be a little closer.

Am refreshing the red zone and blue arrows anyway ready for either Jan 1st or later.

Banbury came out on top. The local reporter doesn't seem to think much of the

P. Sports not drawn any game this season, Diamonds no draws in 9 games. It all points to a draw!

It wasn’t just the pitch that wasn’t very good!! Peterborough Sprouts were little more than ok and I’d expect Diamonds to beat them. The knuckle heads who insist on standing behind the opposition dugout were their usual disgraceful selves and obviously little done about it so expect Peaksy and Co to receive some fairly disgusting abuse. Don’t leave entering the ground to late as I’m sure it will be another big (for them) gate and a single turnstile open. Oh and keep your eyes on the fluctuating drink prices. Bottles of Ghost Ship £3 before the game but up to £3.50 at half time and after game, still the bloke behind the bar did appear to be keeping a note of everything . Other than that enjoy your trip there and I’d suggest it’s not a daft bet. Peterborough Sports to miss out on the playoffs.

Cash on turnstiles??
