How will we recognise you if we don't know you? Will you be wearing a carnation in your lapel? ;)

I dont really want to get shot down for this post so i will be careful on how i word it...And before i mention it yes i suppose everyone does have the choice to decide.

But what made you decide to go Corby? I have never been in the situation of changing teams to support so maybe i dont get what its all about, however when i sang rushden till i die i meant it, through thick and thin, through rough and good.

Im not sure i could sing rushden till i die one week then in the new season corby till i die...

Does anyone else have the same opinion? hope no offence has been caused

I won't shoot you down and maybe as we do not always know who we are chatting to it is difficult to understand the posts people write.....RDFC was not just a team to me but a home and where I grew up having been at Rushden Town from 14, down to RDFC from day 1 to May Bank Hol 2011 and then finally made redundant...so although the chant "was Rushden till I die" it was also "Rushden till they died". What happened made me upset, angry and also bitter towards some like I think many feel.

On the Corby point I was asked to due to my experience from Diamonds, I went, I enjoyed and I have stayed! Not sure I would call myself a supporter yet or that the Corby guys would allow me too :lol: but it has given me a giggle and I have met many old friends and made some news ones

What is stopping you from going to AFC??

Ive been to watch various different teams so far this season- Corby, St Neots, Posh and my local team Thrapston. As much as i have enjoyed going to the games i will never be able to get the same feeling about another club than i did/do about RDFC/ AFC. There is only one love for me.

Lack of hours in the week I am afraid.....just don't have enough on top of work.....

Is Mrs. Thompson still active at Corby? Never seen her there on any of my visits.

OK we're getting warm now. So you're on the turnstiles now that narrows it down. ;)

Hi Trek, she was there for the pre-seasons and first league game as they needed help and guidance as a lot of changes for them very quickly but not now

I don't think people realise some of things that she has done for the local clubs over the years

So will we see you tonight?
