The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Was it the biggest BSP attendance of all time?

Everywhere I can find says

Record attendance: 11,065 Oxford United vs Woking at The Kassam Stadium (26 December 2006)

Todays attendance was 11,963

Do play-offs count? Surely they do..

Well it was a non-league fixture, so i can't see why it would'nt!

The play-offs don't count as league games, so it was not the largest ever Conference attendance, it was technically still a non-league game though, so I guess it's a new record attendance for a non-league match.

Well done everyone; the players, JEMS and KC clearly appreciated it at the end so let's carry it on into next season, when are the fixtures out?

Thanks for the photo, really wanted to see that

It was just fantastic looking down the stand and seeing so many Diamonds' fans and we made such a fantastic noise with so many singing. Also considering 1100 is higher than many of our home attendances this season, I'm delighted with how many travelled today, with obviously many that wouldn't usually travel, some of whom were behind me, moaning every time someone stood up, I figured out they were probably north standers :lol:

Nice - I guess that was from just before they moved all the people standing behind the back row down the seats on the side.
