Liam Watson has made immediate decisions about his future backroom staff for next season. Leaving Haig Avenue are assistant manager Chris Price and Mal Liptrott. Former Port player Price has headed the coaching staff and Watson is looking for a new approach which ever league Southport are in next season. The fate of Rushden and Diamonds is very much in the balance due to their financial plight and with Southport finishing fourth from bottom of the Blue Square Bet Premier a glimmer of hope remains for a close season reprieve

I've got to say, it's fantastic to see everyone pull together at a time like this. It was amazing to see up to 500 people there tonight all with a genuine passion for the club.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

Agreed 100% - I was really impressed with the turnout. It did mean the meeting wandered a bit at times, but nevertheless it was great to see so many there.

I've updated the home page of http://www.rdfcsupporters.co.uk/ with details of Friday's meeting.

Another possible thing to add onto our viral campaign, a campaign video to help draw support would be good, I'm talking about something perhaps like this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BldXmZqVpdU

Something else to spread around the social networks and it would hopefully have an impact on people, the Weymouth one I'd say certainly has the intended effect with great photos and the emotional music in the background. It should help us in getting donations and people's attention hopefully.

Defiantly a good idea need someone that is good with video editing and can put together a proffesional looking compilation of some of the best bits of our history.

BUCKET COLLECTIONS.





Are there any rules regarding what you can and cant do with these? I thought I'd read somewhere that you was only allowed one 'charity' per game??


I really believe that we need to get help from the extended football family, not just Diamonds fans, as I believe proper football fans are alot more understanding than Mr Joe Public.


Theres so many opportunities to be had.

The England C game at sixfields

Peterborough v MK Dons (We've got a good relationship with posh.. lets milk it!)

Nottingham Forest Playoff fixture (huge fan base, and obvious links with the club) This was actually suggested by a Forest fan.

I'd quite happily stand outside Tesco all day, but football fans are the people we need to ask.
A true outlaw finds the balance between the passion in his heart and the reason in his mind. The outcome is the balance of might and right.
