The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

dont you have to play in that particular town to be called 'town'?

e.g. Grimsby Town, who play in Cleesthorpe, so no. But anyway Rushden Town would eliminate the Diamonds part of our name and therefore Irthlingborough, which is going against what we were (hate saying that) called - Rushden and Diamonds.

How about:

AFC Diamonds of Rushden and Irthlingborough

Everyone would just call us "AFC Diamonds" but it would still say Rushden and Irthlingborough on the badge.

Higham Ferrers United ;)

Yeah whenever is look at the fcrushden or afcrushden suggestions for the domain I see "crush" and "den"...

Has to be! We are still Rushden and Diamonds, and I'm guessing that is what the vast majority of fans would want.

Then maybe it really it down to these then. I'm happy to pay for these btw:

www.afcdiamonds.com
www.afcdiamonds.co.uk
(plus .org, .net, etc)

Probably would be best to buy them, just in case somebody snaps them up just to be a pain.

Looking ahead my company can host the domains and site on our servers free of charge even if we don't build it.
