Where's the best place to park near the ground, is it street parking?

Ooh, there's lots of lovely land near the Rushden Town Bowling club, not far from the Needle & Awl. I wonder who owns it? I'd say it's ripe for developing into a football club ;)

Nice spot but it'll probably all be gone before we're in a position to buy anything - some of it is already up for development.....

Ive always thought the Manor Park would be perfect. Get into some talks with the council because they are planning the new leisure centre there (when they finally get the money) maybe we roll a new stadium into it and make it one big project?!?

Bob, I took my son to watch the Rockingham Rebels play at Hayden Road. There was a lad named Hilbourne who played and lived in our village and I believe played in the match when they won in Croydon to secure the league title? Do you remember him?
