Re: Breaking News - Appeal to Conference

I may be wrong but didn't someone say at the Fans Forum that if there was an appeal it would cost money ? Perhaps to the tune of £20k ? If so someone really must expect to win to gamble that sort of cash. And even if we did win it could well not be heard for some time. And what about the winding up ...

Re: Trust meeting

I think the options were clear last night.
1. K*ttering play down at Nene Park.
2. An RDFC Phoenix club reforms and begins the battle upwards from 2012/2013.

That's about it !
At the meeting there was definately a majority of around 70-80% who were in favour of option 1.
Around 1% would be in ...

Re: Rushden Museum

Yes RH I get the Rushden Transport Museum mixed up with the Rushden Museum as well.

Re: Trust meeting on Thursday

And I am a complete muppet because my little brain thought the meeting was tomorrow (Friday) and so I've completely missed it.
I knew today was gonna be a sh1te day when I dropped all my coins on the car park floor this morning as I tried to feed the machine.
C'est la vie.

Re: Calendar

This is a cracking idea, but needs some time and contacts to get rolling.
I really hope this can be achieved and provides more valuable cash for Diamonds.

Re: Donations and pledges for season tickets.

Well at about 7:20 the counter flipped over 50. But there were well over a dozen people in reception filling in cheques for donations.
I really hope we have a big rush and reach 100 today.
Please come on down if you can.
We might just do this.
