The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I've also heard this, Dale's homesick apparently
But whoever said about Potter from Cambridge, my source said exactly the same!!!

Potter would be a good signing!

Yeah i think the main reason for the move would be that both Dale and his fiancee wanted to move back to the North East, which i have heard mentioned. Dale throwing his gloves into the crowd seems afairly good indicator tbh.

Would be very disappointed if he does leave, and we must get a replacement, no question in my mind that Joe Day is not yet ready.

Well I don't know anything about this rumour, however Potter's contract runs out in the summer.

If this is true Dave I think it's highly irresponsible for a club official of Rachel Roberts standing to make such a claim on a supporters coach before anything becomes official.

All it has done is set the rumour mill on fire, if it's official let it come out officially not through blabbling it out on the coach.

Very disappointed.

Plenty of sources around. Obviously plenty can't keep quiet within the club.

Lets not forget that this is all just rumour. JE said in his interview on Radio N'ton after the game that he hasn't had any calls about any players. I would think that this was much nearer the mark than a load of rumours.

Indeed - and a lot of people like to look like they are "in the know" when in fact they've just heard a rumour from the same source, as it comes around in the opposite direction (or have read about it on an internet forum, and will then relay it as something they've "heard").

My sources tell me that Gateshead may be interested in Dale but that's there's no money!

No, Rachel wasn't on the coach. She told a group of 3 or 4 who were on the coach, who then relayed to everyone else what she had said. Apparently the people who sponsor Dale were told the news before the game, although the deal is NOT yet finalised (but apparently he WILL be going ;) ).
