AFC Rushden & Diamonds accepted into League

[Superhans]

So winning the league is not a priority but developing the talent is, that is a good objective and one to be applauded. Getting AFC Rushden and Diamonds up to some sort of level where it will be competing at a higher standard will therefore no doubt take quite a few seasons. AFC must learn to walk first before it can hope to start running I hope that all those supporters from Rushden and Diamonds days realise this an have much patients.

i think most will have patience
the fans that only followed rdfc for the glory have long gone, the last of them will be found at nene park next season
i think everybody choosing to follow afcrd knows the score, they are following their club they have built and will be proud of that fact, winning games will be a bonus to it all
success would be great but we still have a lot to do before we can expect it

There will no doubt be quite a bit of interest for the first few games but we will have to give it until Christmas to really be in a position to asses the future of AFC I suppose.

Do you want to sit down? You actually said something positive for once!!! ;)

I think that a modicum of reality needs to be injected into the mix sometimes it is all well and good everyone getting excited about the formation of AFC R&D but it seems to me that it remains far from the finished article that some on here seem to think it is. I'm sure that this is way to negative a statement for you to swallow and you may be putting me on one of your many lists for uttering such sentiments. :lol: ;)
