The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

18K What a joke?

The whole thing was a joke. I'm no Police Tactician but there was so many things wrong with today's events.

1) The whole thing started from the North Stand, there was no stewards/police anywhere near there!

2) The Police didn't try and attempt them from entering the pitch, no linking of arms of blocking going on

3) The first man that went on was allowed to do so, and then 4 police officers came upto him and just ushered him back to the stand

An absolute farce!

It took them about 10 minutes to work out what to do and when they finally did it, it was a shambles. We had fans on the goalposts trying to snap it, it was like something from the archives.

I hope the forces/club ban EVERY single one of the thugs!

One lad in a yellow RDFC shirt hopped over the wall of the PDB but the steward told him to get back and he quickly responded.

Nothing will happen with any sanctions against Luton with regard to the play off situation. :evil:

Their supporters have a track record of causing trouble. A right load of yobs. :evil:

Yep, I was talking about Luton fans!

We were exceptionally behaved, showed how to properly support your club! The award ceremony and after the game was a brilliant, friendly atmosphere

I'm afraid you are spot on! Nothing will happen whatsoever! I just hope that KC can reclaim some money from the Police, who clearly wasted it. We've said it before that the OB just come down here thinking that its money for old rope, which it should be. Lootun have always had a bit of a rep, and the situation should have been clamped down on early, but by the sound of things, no effort was made whatsoever.

I just wish the football authorities had balls, because, if I was in charge, any teams fans that did that would get 10 points deduction, and the next games behind closed doors, hmm there's an idea, Luton play off games (not that I think they should be allowed now) should behind closed doors. But knowing the conference, bunch of old time wasters, who haven't got the bottle..

What 500 or so? and not a copper is sight, just seeing that makes me feel that I am right, and that shameful bunch should be chucked out.

Ps, send that to the club, as you can make out lots of faces, and I believe is a 1000 fine for each one of them.

They deliberately came to the PDB end to bait RDFC fans and the police hadn't a clue how to deal with it.

If RDFC fans had responded it would have turned very nasty but thankfully they didn't. I trust the Club will bill Luton for any damage they caused and if I was KC I would have had strong words with the Luton directors.
