Yes, just a reminder, it appears that most sat-nav's don't find the ground as it is situated in the new Loves Farm development. If Formic hadn't warned me I would have been wondering round like a headless chicken, so best to get some written directions to accompany your sat-nav.

It will be an AFC R&D XI, consisting of some of the current U18s alongside a few R&D 'legends'. We can't confirm how many at present, but unfortunately Sir Duane of Darby won't be one of them as he has a prior engagement (we'll get him here before the end of the season though ;) ).

On Duane, he really, really wants to come, unfortunately work commitments mean he can't make it this weekend - as Dave says, we'll get him before the end of the season.........even if I have to go and kidnap him ;) :D

firstly i would like to congratulate you all on that you have done in such short amount of time to get AFC Rushden and Diamond to where it is already ! Its a real credit to every one that is involved.


It would be fantastic to see as many of you at the St Neots Game as possible as we are also trying to get as many St Neots fans to the match to help you with your challenge of getting senior football for next season. Everyone involved at St Neots would love to see you back to the level that the old club achieved ,However that's a long way off ,and to be honest,i bet you just would like to see any football i guess in any league.


I understand that there are a lot of people trying to get some exR/D players to participate ,But I'm sure that Lewis Hilliard and Hoppy will put on the shirt for you at least.


We at St Neots will do all we can to make the day as enjoyable a possible !


Regards

Cheers for the well wishes :D Who's Hoppy? ;)

I know there is a decent bar at the ground but are there any pubs that you recommend in St Neots? I know the town centre has a good selection of drinking establishments!
