The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

If Walsall Wood game is postponed on 18th Nov due to their involvement in FA trophy why not see if we can switch Hilier Cup game to that day. It would certainly be better for us to play on a Saturday than a Tuesday. Cobblers first team are away to Charlton we could get an extra 100 or so to the game.

Good idea plus less energy used for floodlights as well

Northants FA wouldn't go for that.

To be honest now we've dropped a league and are in a poor league position I suspect the attendance will be very low, the enthusiasm the fans had over the summer which would have added a few hundred to the gate if it was a friendly has gone so we will be lucky to get 200 through the turnstiles for this.

Pity we can't do an attendance based raffle, if the attendance is over 500 you get entered into a raffle to win 2 tickets to our boxing day / new years day fixtures, games with no importance like this should be used as an opportunity to try new initiatives.

I agree up to a point but any gate money has to be shared with Cobblers and NFA I presume so we wouldn't make much from it. I don't agree on just 200 attendance especially as Cobblers away. However it probably won't happen. What does worry me is that I keep agreeing with Adrian lately
