That's since been established that's not true. It's not ideal for them but it's not against the rules. Case in point is Woking (who could have been in the Conference next season) and Hayes & Yeading.

Really good question Phil, for me its an integrity/reputation thing. We're a class above them plain and simple !! I don't want to be associated with a club who has people amongst its fanbase people who threaten women, children and old men. They're a nasty little club full of nasty little people, I want nothing to do with them - I sure as hell don't want to stand and socialise with them.
R&DFC is my club, its the one I have chosen to support. Unless we die and a phoenix club appears, its the last one I will support. I know you could argue that if Rushden Town and Irthlingborough Diamonds fans had said the same back in the 90's then I wouldn't have had a club to follow - but I wasn't here then, I have been since 1994 and everything I've seen from K*ttering fans in that time shows me I just don't want them anywhere near me.
A good debate though and its interesting to see people's views, its a welcoming distraction from the worrys of survival. I have no idea how we're going to survive, even if we do stave off the current woes, how the hell will we pay the bills next season? But its an admirable effort and those people working hard to save the club deserve all our thanks and support - what I don't think they need is meddling by a journalist spouting thia kind of rubbish.
K*ttering fans will want it about as much as we will, I'm sure thought of a merged club is as disgusting a thought to them as it is to me.
Having gone through the original merger as a Rushden Town fan in 92 i can say this option with Kett will not get my backing ! I would think the majority of Kett feel the same. Its a non starter.

As I said on the referenced thread, i heard the same as you!
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....
I would rather support a rushden and diamonds that plays at hayden road and ket KC do as he pleases with Nene Park then a merger as 1)I don't want to be associated with K*ttering fans, 2) I honestly don't think attendances would be high enough to create a sustainable club still 3)I don't like the idea of losing the name, logo and colours- might sound strange.
