The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Match Details

St George's Day final regular season match at Hayden Road, and all to play for, for the final playoff position.

Hopefully a decent turnout on Saturday. Many of us thought moving to Rushden would increase attendances, which it unfortunately doesn’t appear to have worked.

I just wonder where those who supported the old club are. Towards the end we still had attendances of 1,000+, 800 or so on a bad day, including away fans.

It may very well be that the parking situation around Hayden Road hasn't helped matters. On match days I've seen and heard a few road rage incidents along Hayden Road.

I've heard things like this a lot. Without wanting to make life difficult for myself, just come in to Hayden Road the other side and there is always ample parking at the top of the road. I've never once had an issue parking in the years we've been there.

Agreed, if you come into Hayden Rd via Grafton Rd. If you park at the top end of Hayden Rd/ Keswick Drive there’s ample room.

That's nice.

Message from the fans, I was thinking;-

RIGHT THEN you bunch of fcuking knobs, get yer fricking ar$es in gear for the last time, get out on that bleeding football pitch and score a sh!t load of goals innit?

No?

Oh well, "Come on you Diamonds" it is then . . .
