The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

No matter what the end result today its been a fantastic achievement and a wonderful season. Treat today as our cup final, I fear we may get undone by the referee today. 12,000 Oxford fans will be baying in his ear, something he won't have had much in his career, it'll be tough for him to not react. 11 against 11 will be tough enough. I'm as nervous as hell and believe we're good enough to win, but will we get the chance??? I hope and pray we do !!

Agreed - relax and enjoy it. We've done well to get this far so anything else is a bonus. Also, wrap up well - there's a cold wind blowing !!

If we lose, and I see any of our fans show and emotion, such as crying, I will give you a slap, man up and be proud whatever the result.

Hopefully it will be directly behind the North Stand and not though the gap in the open end at the west end (according to BBC weather forecast :oops: ).

If we lose the game by a 120th minute goal,I think I may be getting a slap in the face ;) :oops:
