The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I wonder if they would want to switch the tie ;) 8-)

No thank you Ive already got my heart set on the weekend up there and a cracking night out on the Toon :mrgreen:

Detail of replay date - http://www.afcdiamonds.com/fixture-news - the following Saturday.

Based on everyone's comments and how well the coaches are going I can see over 100 making the trip which would be fantastic. 3 of us going on the train.

Especially impressive when you consider that the old R&D would probably have taken 20-30 if we'd have drawn Ashington in the FA Cup. The away support for AFC R&D has been amazing since day 1. Between 3-5 of us driving up.

Just booked 2 more onto the coach

There are 3 of us driving up too, should be a good turnout 8-)

I know its still over a week away, but there's severe flooding up there currently. Just hope its not a wasted journey for fans!

I think its alright up there (well not as bad as here), plus its not near a river

I know that Ashington will not allow us all to travel if there is a good chance it will not go ahead, I believe they will let us know if there are any issues the Thursday before the game, which is good of them.

Weather to get better from tomorrow. Just out of interest how mant fans are on the 2 coaches (team coach and fans coach)

Team coach fully booked, that's, team, management, board members and about 10 fans, the supporters coach has only 9 spaces left, so 35, so far on that.

I would hope that in total we will have around 100 there on the day.
