The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I hope the UCL learns something from this season, with regards to fixtures. I very much doubt it though...

Not just in our league (where Northampton Spencer have played 20 games this season in 213 days and now have 16 games left to play in 46 days), but in others too. What Guernsey are going to have to go through is a total joke. It's dangerous for the players if nothing else.

I don't think there is any reason why ours, or any other step 6 league, can't go on after May 4th.
The FA have said matches affecting promotion to step 4 must be complete by that date to allow them to sort out league allocations for next season. Whether or not that is a valid reason I don't know, but unless they say otherwise due to the exceptionally wet conditions the country has suffered, that's how it will have to be.

Record crowd of 4290 for Guernsey in the FA Vase this afternoon. Currently losing 3-1 to Spennymore.

1700 in the other semi final as well, superb attendances for 9th tier sides!
