The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I think you'll find Thrapston very rarely play home games on a Saturday in August due to Cricket.

Can you tell us anything about Thrapston BD? I see they had a pretty dire season last year...

From what I have heard the majority of last years side have left and they have a new manager called Ian Walker who is Corby based so I assume they will have plenty of Corby based players. According to someone involved with Thrapston they are likely to be physical but with little quality.

I saw Thrapston four times towards the start of last season when they did well in their first time in the FA Cup. I think they then had various changes off the field and nosedived out of the UCL Premier. We have a few ex-Thrapston players in our squad.

i saw thrapston 5 or 6 times last season, and they started well but faded, they had 2 management changes which brought massive changes to the squad, Lee Gotch and Ben Morgan always looked the best two players
As someone said i think the team will be massively different anyway.

I saw Peaksy and Biff guide Spencer to a 4-0 victory there with Peter Okechukwu scored too!
