The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Did the cleaning and painting of the fascia above the South Stand and north facing cladding on Diamond Way get sorted?

No ,we approached Dulux and Johnstones paint and they were not interested in any sponsorship to help with costs,the trust cannot afford to pay for it to be done.I have been helping out doing painting to the railings in the airwair,but not enough people to help get it all done.
The red lettering on the stands i have volunteered to do but need a cherry picker operator to help work it as you need a licence to operate.

it depends on what platform you have but i hold a valid IPAF licence for a vehicle mounted platform up to 26 m and although i dont get a lot of spare time i can try and squeeze it in at some point to help out
not sure if it does help though to be honest. im not covered on scissor lifts (although i have used them before!) and may be tricky to obtain the type of platform i can use. i could try and borrow one but even then we may not reach most areas with it!

Thanks for your reply superhans,there is a lift in the corner between the north stand and airwair sitting there,i will find out if that is able to be used,but the problem now is with the pitch being prepared for the games to do the north stand/south stand letters it would have to be set up on the edge of the pitch.The painting of the letters would only take a few hours.
I will see if anything is possible and go from there.Thanks.
