The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I think approx 250-275 for saturday but with about 500-550 for our first league game, alot of people do not attend many friendlies

Well there was 350 in attendance for the U18's first friendly last season, so i can't see why we can't get more then that!

Genuinely buzzing for this one - me +3 for our very first AFC game

Two more sleeps!!!!

Really looking forward to the game on Saturday, wouldn't be surprised if there is 4/500 at the game.

We allegedly took nearly 600 (I think?) to the Cup final, could even match that, but depends on the weather.

Very excited. I think some of these estimates are very conservative. I'd like to think there'd be at least 400-450, hopefully more.

Don't forget that Wellingborough averaged 120 at home last season and it being our first game, that might tempt a few more. 400 - 500 is my guess.

I would like to think we could make that many, but it needs every one of you to spread the word, and let all the non-internet users aware of the games, there is a downloadable poster somewhere (help someone) 8-) 8-)

Due to the weather, and the fact the pitch is shite, is there a chance it might get called off? It sounds mad, but I'd rather wait a couple more weeks for our first friendly, to let the pitch get some more sunlight! (if we get any...)
