Isn't that the one that we will be ground sharing with Rushden & Higham with them paying 50% of the running costs? :D

I think that you are confusing that rumour with the one about people attending the car Boot Sales at nene Park are each taking a brick home with them to rebuild Nene Park, at the top of Shirely Road :lol: :lol:

I've just looked at the map, Duke, that's a tidy bit of land. Who owns it? Reckon we all ought to go to NP this Sunday and collect a brick or two. KC will want a hand with the demolition. ;)

I'll second that - they seem to be going for a Daily Star style of journalism. If they are abusing their interviewees by misreporting their comments I'm sure those interviewees will soon tell them where to go for future interviews.

If any Diamonds fans feel there isn't enough Diamonds news on the Official website, so need to subscribe to this rag, then feel free to offer suggestions about what they'd like to see on the OWS. We spend a lot of time on Match Reports, Post-match interviews with players and management, pre-match squad updates from Mark Starmer etc, but if people think the effort is being misplaced feel free to let us know.

I notice that the rag has quoted our twitter address so that their promotional tweets appear on our homepage - it might be worth keeping an eye on that facility.

And you do a mighty fine job and it must one of the best football club web-sites in the country. No complaints from me. ;)

How much more news do you need?
The OWS is excellent, and thank you to everyone involved in making it one of the best club websites a fan could wish for. Looking at some club`s sites, many of them are hardly ever updated, and taking into account our excellent matchday programme, both are better than many league clubs` efforts.
Top job everyone. Well done.

I've been surprised at how bad some of the websites are. A lot of the go for the Clubwebsite approach and it's difficult to find any information through the adverts.

It's not much better in the Weetabix league either.

The trouble is, you've been spoiled david :D :D

I must add that I work out of the county, in Leicestershire and my work colleagues are very impressed with both the website and programmes, as are a few of my customers, and I will be bringing some customers down to the D&D in the new year for a hospitality package, they were that impressed and wanted to come and see us play other than go to Old Trafford (our company has season tickets there) 8-) 8-) 8-)
