It would just be nice to not have to listen to John pronouncing the players' names wrong in his Northern drone. ;)BartonRaz wrote:Good to read in the programme about Rick the old announcer at Nene Park. It'd be a real blast from the past to hear his voice again. I can still hear him saying "goalscorer for Rushden & Diamonds, number 31, Onandi Lowe."

He was certainly coming to the games last season if not before.paulg wrote:BartonRaz wrote:Good to read in the programme about Rick the old announcer at Nene Park.

Great news. He was the old announcer at Hayden Road in the Rushden Town days too. Anyone know if he has been involved in/with AFC for a while or has this comeback just come out of the blue?
Can you remember when he stopped doing it out of interest? I vaguely remember the announcer when I started going in October '03, but not sure whether that was Rick or not?BartonRaz wrote:Good to read in the programme about Rick the old announcer at Nene Park.

There were many departures after Max Griggs stopped financing RDFC including spectators.Olly wrote: Can you remember when he stopped doing it out of interest?
I'd been trying unsuccessfully to get in touch with him since 2011, but I spoke to him at a game last season and we exchanged emails about it during the closed season, so it's been a long time coming!paulg wrote:BartonRaz wrote:Good to read in the programme about Rick the old announcer at Nene Park.

I think we can draw a line before someone wants a return of the 'Diamond Divas'. :oBartonRaz wrote:His voice is synonymous with the good times at Nene Park.
