The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

It's reasonable to assume that nothing much has changed financially, so it depends on whether there have been enough season ticket and shares sales as requested by the club. If there hasn't been then people wont be paid again and the more likely administration becomes. Is that a bad thing? Obviously YES for those poor souls who have worked and not been paid, but maybe winding up R & DFC Ltd might be the only sensible option in the long term considering its debts from a football club point of view? Starting afresh under a new company name might be an attractive proposition, didn't Hull City do this some years back? I guess the current owners must be asking themselves if they're flogging a dead horse.

Administration is not an option in my eyes and let the owners off the hook as we have provided services to the club and still await payments which affect us personally.We are loyal supporters of the club giving up time also in volunteer capacity,so why should we suffer!

Guys, can you please set up another topic if you want to talk about the club? I don't want this topic derailed.

Barnet and Northampton both 1-0 up. As it stands, 1 point separating 5 teams!!

Edit: Barnet now drawing...
Edit again: Northampton now 1-1 too! Looks like it will be a big day down there!!

Still struggling. Hopefully Stevenage will do 'em over next week to set up a nail biting finish!

As Mr. Johnson said on Radio Wobbs after the match at Stockport 'We ain't dropped below the line yet.'

There's still time Gary.

2 games left for them now, I'm still hopeful of them going down, difficult game at home to Stevenage but then again I can't see Barnet winning at Accrington despite their recent form so it might be the day where Wobblers survive but we'll have to see, would be a welcome distraction from our problems if today goes badly for them again though

Come on Stevenage! (I do think Cobblers will win though)

Accrington winning and now Wobblers winning :roll:

Edit: Barnet equalise

Wobblers 1 up.

Barnet 1-1
