The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Therefore I'm not scared of flying or travelling by train or bus or when I'm in hospital or at the dentist when someone else is in control.
I can do "f" all about it.
So when I voted for the club to be given lock, stock and barrells to Mr Cousins - I signed away "my right to get worried".
The Club has been owned by "shhhh you know who" for some time and this hardly changes that.
What we can do something about is getting our backsides down to Nene Park to swell the somewhat dissapointing gates just recently.
I know the reasons for slipping below the magic 1000 figures for attendance but again that's down to weather, financial climate, fixture pile up - all items we have no control over.
So, after a cracking game on Tuesday with 5 goals and some excellent crossing and corners, it's time to focus on the footie and get the buzz back at Nene Park.

I'm the complete opposite. I have total faith in myself so I have no reason to worry over things I can control. When it comes to relying on other people, then that's the time to panic! And I'm worried as f**k right now! :lol: ;)

;) A bit like your trust in Referee's capabilities?

:lol: Exactly! :lol:

I've actually just had an interesting text and I'm no longer worried at all. Happy days again! :lol:

I'm hearing positive murmerings too - onwards and upwards, never a dull moment eh?

Oh go on - do tell??

Firstly, and most importantly, the administration rumours are complete nonsense. The club's finances aren't great (that's no secret) but things are slowly improving. Gary Calder wasn't contributing anything financially, so we're not losing out in that sense following his departure.

The club will be holding a fans' forum again sometime within the next two weeks (a date is just being finalised and will be announced very soon), where more details of Gary's departure will be unveiled. There are some things that can't be disclosed publicly, but certain things will be discussed that the club didn't want to release in the media.

Gary did genuinely want to see the club succeed and prosper by all accounts, but in the end it was in the club's best interests for him to leave.

To finish on a positive note, PB Devs opens its doors on April 1st (yes, I know what you're thinking! :lol: ) so we should see an upturn in our financial fortunes quite soon.
