The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Can I just say a big thank you to Paul, Bruce, the Northern lad with the cold, and to whoever featured on Radio Diamonds yesterday. I arrived at my hotel in fuerteventura at 2pm yesterday. And was really struggling for wifi to tune in, let alone permission from the missus who was very cheesed off at the fact we'd just arrived on holiday at I wanted to do was whack my ear phones straight in. Managed to get wifi just as Barwell went 2-1 up. Slumped in a chair with the girlfriend now consoling me sat on my lap, all I can hear is 'and Barwell clear' 'tut, Barwell defender comes away with the ball.' All of a sudden I hear absolute pandemonium!! Literally threw the bird 6 foot up in the air, legged it onto the balcony screaming, slipped on the wet floor and ended up in a Spanish hospital with a suspected re-rupture of my ACL!!

The wife had just phoned me to say , you have lost then, this was the 94 th minute as i had been texting her the scores. Just then she was nearly deafened by the noise when we scored number 2, with me shouting we have just equallised and will phone you back soon. She said it was her lucky phone call that did it.
On another note Tuesday is massive for us lets get all the drums out and all bring anyone you can and lets get at Barwell with a wall of noise

Brilliant. Mind you Spanish hospitals cost though, I know from experience. ;) ;)

I would also estimate about 600 AFC fans they seemed to be every where

Sounds about right. Was a fairly loud cheer when they scored their second, and a group behind the goal who seemed more interested in abusing Liam Dolman, than actually watching the game!!

I mean to mention that - heard "you fat bastard" shouted several times throughout the match - Liam had the last laugh eh eh?

One of two songs in their repertoire

The radio was great yesterday
I had it in my earphones whilst watching the rugby in a crowded pub. I got some seriously strange looks when I jumped in the air and cheered. Everyone thought I was over reacting to a kiwi knock on!
