The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I've been told by a Centre of Excellence player, that he was told tonight by his coach that 'we have a game wednesday and then he said he wasnt sure if there was a club next year'.

I think it's time for the Kleenex.

out of intrest can you tell me who broke the news to the kids.

The coach told the guy I know.

this is bloody shocking............ PLEASE someone save us.

This isn't on, a bunch of cowboys (with from what I can see, sod all business sense) running a club, who clearly don't know what a football club means to it's fans and the community, draining the clubs finances to start of their own currently non existent business. Bleeding us dry is totally out of order.
Please some-one save us!
But even if we get new owners, and are in the BSP next year... Have we just lost our entire youth system!? :evil:

so with our youth team gone or going and most of the first team released yesterday this leaves us with no playing staff..........

I heard we signed Stuart on a pay-as-you-score contract. Payment being in biscuits for these meetings ofc. ;)

I didn't want to make an explicit attack on the poor man. I'm sure he'd make Matt Tubbs look like Craig Farrell.

I'm joining you in trying to not think about it, I remember feeling so sorry for the fans of Chester and just prayed we wouldn't have to be in their position, but now we are and it feels like a bad dream, the situation is getting really really desperate now, its just blow after blow and we're tunnelling our way to oblivion, what I'd do for a bit of hope now but there isn't any.

Such a shame that something about our club to genuinely proud of (and I have always been) has by the looks of things just gone like that.
