I have at least five shirts, home and away (probably more, actually), two scarves - the oldest being the 2001 "We're going up" scarf, as I swopped two away - one at Leeds after the replay in 1999,

Swopped??????
Surely not ;)

Jimbo,fancy swapping it with my signed Isle of Mann winning shirt?!

Off the top of my head..

RDFC mugs (playoff one and another one)
RDFC scarves, one from 1995, the other is the 2001 Conference winning one.
Shirts, including, full Home kit 1995/6.
Lots of programmes, including a number from 1995/6.
Signed programme from 5-4 Grays Match. Signatures from most of the team that season, Dale's sticks out most prominently now.
RDFC Mousemat.
Folder containing newspaper cuttings and a team photo from 1995/6 signed by all of the players.

I have a collection of over 30 different RDFC pin badges but I need really a 'Diamonds Minors one which I was promised one by Gems before disappeared in the direction of Luton. If anyone could help me out I would be grateful if they would PM me.
I don't believe the Trust had a pin badge, however, which was a shame because it was a nice designed badge. :(

There were a few RDISA ones left in the Cabin. Diamond Minors am not sure - but could find out. Yes Trust never did a pin badge as I recall [We had some wristbands - which we still have some in cabin also].

Who owns those Trust cabins any idea ?

I think they are part of the Stadium complex, so I am sure at some point soon, we may need to remove some of the things we have in there. There's not that much in there to be honest, other than a store for the Car Boot donations, and old programmes amongst other things. But it was something we were checking on anyway.

I have more memrobillia than i can think of, So many tops, and Players shirts, Bignots, Burgess, Bells, Broughtons and Osanos... can't believe whats happened i'm so sad and very angry, can't quite take it all in at the moment...
What i'll never forget is all the fun we've had and the friends we've made...
I am Rushden till i die!!!

To be honest, the one I had at Leeds was only a week old, and the little Leeds lad who asked to swop was only about ten: I didn't feel able to refuse, especially as we (the fans) had been very generously saluted by the Leeds fans as we left, so I got sort of carried away in the moment...!

I was prepared at Chester - I actually bought one at our Club shop in case I got asked to swop, and so I did! I then went to the Club shop a few weeks later and bought the one I've still got - the Conference winning scarf with "We're going up" on it.

I wouldn't sell anything else.
