The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Pre 2000 i sat in either the South Stand, Air Wair or North Stand. Since 2000 i've sat in the same seat in the South Stand.

I've been in the debanke 4 times i think. Against Colchester (FA Cup, 2-5), Cambridge (1-2), Grays (1-0), Lewes (2-1). On those occasions i used my South Stand season ticket and walked accross to the debanke, which i believe they have stopped now, god knows why.

I don't know. I know a guy who stands (although he buys a seated ticket as well when he does do this) who switched between standing and seating in some matches last season.

To be fair, i haven't done it for a season or so now, but i'm basing that on the last time i did, when a couple of my mates went in the debanke whilst i used my season ticket, only to be told they're not allowing people to switch anymore. They let me off in the end, but told me i wouldn't be allowed a second time.

I believe you can change seating season tickets for standing tickets if you ask at the ticket office, in case you want to do the same in future.

I didn't/don't want to do it perminantly, it was just for when a few of my mates came with me.

I think that's what Dave means, swap them on a game to game basis.

sat in the south for a season but moved to PDB after, a lot better in the PDB, it changed my mind about sitting behind the goal at Spurs too

Well I used to watch from the PDB, but now I'll just be watching from afar ;)

What's the beer like at Goldington Road, Jim cos you'll soon get fed up watching the egg chasers?
Will Bobos be joining you? ;)

The beer is goooooooood ;)

Naaaaa, I won't get fed up, I'll get along fine there, been a few times and have always enjoyed it, I used to play rugby more than I did football, it'll take a little bit of adjusting though, I'm not understimating that.

Bobos won't be there I suspect, but I know other people who go so I won't be on my tod. Like I said elsewhere, there are 3 of us thinking of doing this already if this pricing policy stays the same and I can cycle it in 15 minutes from my house and have a few beers without worrying about driving.

Be gutted to have to do it, but there are limits to my wallet and sadly its been reached at Nene Park it seems !!
