The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

You would have thought that the £400 or so that each of the Parents paid for their childs training / match fees per annum would enable the C of E self funding.

I hope this doesn't include U16 lads that have agreed to sign on for the club at the sports performance course at Raunds Manor next year, and forgone the opportunity to do their A Levels and stay on at school on the basis of playing for the club.

IF that is the case, that is really messing with young lives.

The youth system was self funded. ????????????

Making kids cry FFS, it's so sad. :( BEASANTS OUT!

Doesn't appear so

Would anyone really put it past them to have taken money out of the youth system to support the other debt?

I hope the youth players are able to find themselves another club whom plays at the same level.

It would be a shame for them to drift out of football or to lower leagues.
