The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Obviously the FA have set a precedent in the Sleaford/Huntingdon FA Cup tie abandoned in similar circumstances so it may be that whoever gets drawn against them will also get a walk over into the 5th Round of the competition and pocket £2000.

Slightly O/T, but this reminds me, I was amazed to read on twitter yesterday that a game at Rainworth MW was called off because of a bomb scare

And another one in the NLP I notice, Guernsey v Sittingbourne called off due to 'air traffic control issues', has either of these happened in non league football before :lol:

So Spennymoor away is undoubtedly the draw to avoid, but them at home might not be such a bad draw, as they've apparently got indifferent form away from home.

Decent web-site if you want to find out more about clubs left in the FA Vase.

We are gameless next Tuesday, when Graham Street Prims face St Andrews in a league game.

Looking at the results and attendances which are now on the FA site it is confirmed that our crowd of 563 was the largest of the round beating the 542 crowd that attended the Whitley Bay/Dunston UTS North East derby contested by two clubs who have both won the Vase during the last few years.

Makes you wonder what it would have been if it was against a club that travelled a few more fans.

Or bandwagoners :lol:

Is a coach arranged then? that would shock them, the 52 seat scouting party. The win St Andrews had last night was an expected one as opposition were near bottom, in rough context, Bugbrook beat Whitworth`s.

Would that be the Bugbrook that are next to bottom of div. 1, 2 places and 11 points behind Whitworths? ;)

According to the recent UCL newsletter they've signed (or followed Mad Mitch) around a dozen players from Woodford so their form is not expected to pick up in the near future.
