The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Their game v St Neots has been postponed and they have 7 days to satisfy some requirements from the Southern League, whatever the F they are...

Bond maybe?

K*ttering have been given seven days. Saturdays game postponed....again

£50k bond, viable stadium for the rest of the season, CVA payments up to date and football creditors debts paid off, which would allow them to register players.

Raise £250k in two weeks, anyone?

This is a smart move by the Southern League, as it will mean that KTFC will seal their own fate if they don't meet whatever these conditions are - so the league can't be accused of not giving them a chance to save themselves.

It will be interesting to see if the KTFC fanbase does make an attempt to save themselves, like we tried with the Diamonds until it became clear we would need to pay off Cousins inside two seasons in order to stay at Conference level - or are they just prepared to let their history disappear.

Yeah most likely, unless they're taken over (I imagine IL will come out on Tuesday night saying the deals fallen through, why would anyone except a hardcore fan with a couple of hundred grand to spare want to take them over) they're stuffed, lets hope the SL don't chicken out come next Wednesday, cause this is just ridiculous how long its been dragged out for.

To be honest, the vast majority of the ktfc fanbase has had enough, I doubt many will have the energy to put all their efforts into a campaign like ours after all that's gone on, they're as good as dead and the fact there's been barely anymore discussion on there than there has been on here on the situation says it all really.

To be honest, the vast majority of the ktfc fanbase has had enough, I doubt many will have the energy to put all their efforts into a campaign like ours after all that's gone on, they're as good as dead.

And due to go on the day that the Grim Reaper calls... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Indeed - the general concensus on Poppynet seems to be criticism of the Southern League for not kicking them out today! I note they've got a Trust Meeting on Friday that was already scheduled, but it appears that the credible people on the Trust Board have had such abuse from the Fanbase when trying to negotiate a way forwards previously that they are likely to resign.
