AFC RDFC is too long for me :?

I agree, in my opinion we must drop the & as keeping it still implies a merger of clubs which it will not be.

When we were at Cardiff they were selling scarves outside with AFC Rushden & Diamonds on them. At the time we laughed & looked all indignant but maybe the seller was physic & could actually see into the future!

There were also some Rushton & Diamonds flags being sold. What was even more ridiculous was that people were buying them! :lol:

Rushden Diamonds FC for me if we are allowed it as it must be pretty close to being the same as the original and therefore infringing on copy laws etc.

I also can't help but notice that although AFC RDFC is a nice option that would mean our name would be Athletic (or is is Amateur) Football Club Rushden and Diamonds Football Club, which would seem a little silly.

Not necessarily. The 'A' in AFC Wimbledon doesn't stand for anything.

I don't think we'd include FC twice. That's just shorthand being used by people until we decided upon the name for the Phoenix club

The "AFC" in all Clubs stands for Association Football Club - as opposed to Rugby Football Club. Leeds United are offically Leeds United AFC, for example.
