AFC Rushden & Diamonds is too much of a mouthful!

That article doesn't seem that clear to me. If KC was not an owner of R & DFC Ltd, how can he seize control of it? Surely it's only the land and stadium he has repossessed? Or have I got summat wrong?

This is exactly what has been confusing me!

I would suggest that KC has seized control of the premises, as they belong to him! There may be a default clause in his agreement with the Beezant's and as they haven't paid him any rent, I would suggest he may well be able to be in a position to seize the club back as well.

Hopefully we will learn more on Thursday but KC appears to be pulling out all the stops to ensure he has a 'club' playing on his land for the forseeable future, the name of that club, well time will tell.....

And it looks more and more likely to be K*ttering Town while we reform a new club somewhere else.

The games going on here are not only mind blowing but affecting the fans of two clubs.

Nobody can find out who this Japanese outfit is - I wonder if it is an offshore company belonging to someone allegedly connected to the club who we cannot name? - and there is enough circumstantial evidence to connect Mr Ladak to the mind games currently going on.

Interestingly, if their are as many as 7 winding up orders in place, why were the bailiffs in yesterday? Who are they representing? Or was it just a publicity stunt knowing that BBC Look East had their cameras there?

Maybe nothing in it but with events as they are at RR - no new players, no manager, resignations behind the scenes and out of the conference next year if no lease extension - it is little wonder that what was seemingly being talked about 12 months ago could be about to happen ie K*ttering Town playing at NP.

Bearing in mind that certain Poppynet posters would lead you to believe that Max Griggs is solely responsible for not winning more - or is that anything - since we were formed wouldnt it be ironic that our inpending demise could be about to save their bacon!

so what could transpire is a complete take over of RDFC by K*ttering, if the FA refuse the appeal, which i am sure they will.

It is now almost an impossible situation, can't merge as fans won't accept it, effective takeover is the only option as it will keep the K*ttering fans although lose Rushden fans. They can't even sell it as a merger for fear of losing the larger of the fanbase (K*ttering) so the next best option is a takeover.

I think Ladak and Cousins will gamble on this thinking well we might get some new fans along the way.

AFC Rushden & Diamonds is too much of a mouthful!

I'm not keen on that name either, would much rather something simpler like Rushden AFC or something, but I suppose we can't really lose the 'Diamonds' name.

And tbh this whole thing is just too ridiculously complicated, I really can't see us being able to successfully appeal against the conference's decision as surely what's done is done now?

How about "Real Diamonds" ?

Did you see what I did there ? ;)
