The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Also a big thank you to everyone that has offerend their skills to the cause. As the TDSP picks up support, we need to decide whether we should be actively campaigning for the removal of Liam and Steve. I understand that we must not take away from the save efforts and this will not. But we must decide on what the group's official stance is.

Jim - will you be at the meeting tonight ? If so, we must have a chat about the campaign, and how you want to progress things. I'm going to be taking a back seat due to holiday commitments, so you might consider taking on the work I've been doing.

Yeah, I will be there. listen and taking in out is said. I dont mind taking on the work over the summer. The only thing is Im off to University in September so any group that is set up proabably will have to be run without my major help from september. But there is alot of buts and Ifs before then. Over the summer I will happily take a front seat on this.

I know no facts at all just what I've read on here and heard, so this post is ignorant of these views I've heard.

The priority has to be saving the club. If it means having the Beasants in charge then so be it. We shouldn't turn our motives into just removing the two people. If they ever prove to us they can make it work, we should allow them too.

The flip side (and what seems more likely) is that they have no realistic prospect of making it work, we need to get them out ASAP imo. How we do that or go about that, I have little idea. I trust that with the people we have spearheading this group, I can put me 100% backing behind them to be an influence and voice that backs up what we say and what we as fans want.

Beasants OUT - Helen and the Trust IN

Let's not get carried away, the Trust clearly have no interest in actually running the Club again. It didn't work last time for a variety of reasons.

However, from what KC said last evening Mrs. Thompson might be persuaded to return to take a leading role. ;)
