The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Fantastic performance, fantastic football at the end... just awesome, should've had more but I'm not going to complain.

Any idea of today's attendance?

About 250 I'd say.

For the first time since perhaps the Peterborough friendly, I think we played really well throughout.

The new guy looked like exactly what we needed, and Harrowby were fortunate it wasn't a cricket score in the end. Gilsenan's goal was a very deliberate 25 yard volley placed right in the top corner, sheer class. MOM for me was Dent who was everywhere, but Gilsenan, McBride and obviously Alfie all played their part.

Around 200-250 there i'd say. Very enjoyable day.

I think the Harrowby guy said it was 260 - but await official figures.

Also Glenis keeps Isabel Roberts updated on our scores, and she passed a message back:
"That's great news well done to them all x"

I know it doesn't really matter at this stage and with not everyone having played 3 games but we're top of the table after Eynesbury lost

cheers

Just back from the game. As has been said, it was a fantastic performance from all of the lads, and we fully deserved the win. Thought the game was quite scrappy for the first half hour, but after that, we stamped our authority and quality on the game. The new lad (Gilly) was really impressive; a brilliantly executed volley for his goal and a beautiful through ball over the top for Alfie's second. Agree about the penalty being slightly dubious. Thought all the team were great, but special mentions for McBride (my MOM), Dent, Merril and Aynsley, who marshalled the defence superbly (very vocal as well). Nice little stadium, but was an absolute nightmare to find About 250-270 fans there, I'd say. All in all, it was a great day, capped off with a great performance and victory from the lads!!
