The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I really hope that sundays game will be a lot different to the last two times crawley have been in town!!! Both were shockingly boring, A BORE draw last year and a injury time winner for them the year before after the WORST game of football i'd ever seen. Surely it will be better this time????

We certainly owe these as we havn't beaten them since our return to the conference!

is there a team we have a worse record against?
i know we're never usually that good against kiddy. usually draws.

That game in 2008 ranks as the worst Diamonds performance I've ever seen. I've never been so pissed off and angry after a game and from then on it was clear that Hill had to go.

Tbh, it's only since we've been back in the Conference. I remember back in 1995 when we beat Crawley in the Beazer Homes 3 -1.

Kiddy probably comes to mind. Still it occurs in cycles. You only have to look at our recent record against Histon. Never beaten them before, now three in a row.

Good knowledge ;)

They're flying, loads of money, big signings - we'll be underdogs for this one. Hope we beat them playing good football and state our case as a play-off team.
