Too pay, you either will have to go through the bar, or there is gate.

Stuart

Do you know that, or are you just trying to make a guess look like informed comment ?

Although that's what happened at Raunds prior to the start of this season, it was much later in the Friendly calendar. This will be just before the team head off to Devon, assuming that gets confirmed, so will be at the equivalent time to the St Johnstone game before the start of this season.

I very much doubt the team will already have been picked ;)

I would be surpried if too many first teamers are played - but who cares! A ground that for most of us will be nice and close, and for those who are really tight, you'll probably be able to watch most of the game from outside of the fence :lol:

I went up there yesturday, to referee a game, and was told then.

You're a referee? Must be a brave man :lol:

Wouldn't have thought we would risk many first teamers, since they are listed as an amateur club, I doubt we'd want to risk possible injurys to our first team players...

Maybe like Stuart said it will be a mix of Youth and reserve players, possibly with some trialists.

They are at the same level (11) as Halstead Town were when we played them two seasons ago - and we saw all the first teamers that evening.

I know a couple of the lads who play for the R&H reserves.... the Reserves team manager and assistant manager used to manage Rushden Rangers U18s.. they want my brother to join the reserves next season.

Now confirmed - http://www.thediamondsfc.com/page/Youth ... 58,00.html

this is on the same day as the first team have Peterborough at home (17th July)
off to NP for me ;)

It's now been moved to Wednesday 21st - http://www.thediamondsfc.com/page/Youth ... 10,00.html - so it will be an option for those fans not going to the Devon Tournament.
