The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Michael Stone is on the Non-League Show tonight - given he is now with a league club one assumes they'll make some reference to his time at the Diamonds.

I note that Tommy Widdrington is also on the programme following his move to be assistant manager at Southend - we'll have a chance to meet him again when they visit NP for the PSF.

Did anyone listen to this?

You can listen to it again here. Summer Episode 6. The Stone bit is about 7 minutes in:

There were a couple of telling questions - the one about his departure and the impact on his relationship with JE (which he handled well), and the one about whether he might be looking at bringing in other non-league players (which he was rather non-commital, but made it clear what he thinks of Curtis Osano).

There was an interesting insight from Mark Cooper later in the programme regarding K*ttering - it appears they have a huge budget and the players they've signed have come at significant cost - so he's tipping them as third favourites for promotion behind Darlo and Luton.

I can understand the players the scum have brought in costing a lot, however, other than Ashikodi none of them are signings that would make you stand up and look and Harper has never shown himself to have JE's ability to work with players you wouldn't expect to be brilliant.
