The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

if this is the company that is our future is based on dont get too excited, it was formed 10 months ago has 1 director Liam Beasant aged 25 and as a new company has yet to submit any accounts and is therefore a red risk on a credit search.So I hope there is more substance behind our new owners than this

Who is getting excited, the reason they bought the club was because they need a base to develop the business as they intend (all going well) to build accomodation on the land around Nene Park for students.

Look out for a planning application for a change in the details for the hotel,

Also they never said they were loaded thats why the quotes about we are not going to be another Crawley or Luton.

To be fair KC always seemed to have the best interest of the club at his heart and did a wonderful job for us .So we should respect his final decision continued this theme,as he has believe in the new owners so we should support and trust them until proven otherwise

I wonder where they will get the money to run a blue square prem full time football club which has many staff to pay and a medium sized ground to maintain, maybe they are contemplating raising admission prices so that the fans can contribute more funds? We really did need someone with more financial clout than these two seem to possess. Time will tell I suppose it's early days yet. :|

How do you know what they have in the way of financial resources? You seem to be basing your opinion on this one company which hasn't yet submitted any accounts, but for all we know could already be turning over huge sums of money. Gary Calder has been involved with other clubs long before the birth of this new company, so obviously has some other business ventures which bring in the money. :roll:

Correct in your assumption that I don't know, but do you know any different? As you seem to know that they have the means to finance this club it would be helpful if you could please put your facts on here. This would make things a lot less worrying for the fans who may have concerns. Cheers await your findings with interest.

No one knows how much funds the new Owners have, just like we never knew what funds KC had.

In fact KC sold the club because he no longer had the funds to move us forward and we have to trust his judgement.

So instead of being Mr Negative try letting them get on with the job and no doubt we all hope the business they are building is a success.

In otherwords worry for the sake of it, even if there is nothing to worry about at all?

There are some unknowns I'll grant you and things I'd like to hear more about, but they've provided us with a good deal of information already. There's an ET interview with Gary Calder out on Saturday. They've only been in a few days!

I'm more intrigued to hear more of what they've got to say, rather than straight away think that the four horsemen are going to descend upon Nene Park. At the moment there are only two sets of fans in this county that should have any cause to think like that, given their current respective situations, and they are Cobblers fans and K*ttering fans.

Out of interest, according to the Dorset Echo, Liam is the son of Steve Beasant who failed in his bid to take over Weymouth last year.

You realise you've spent the last day asking people do do research for you you could have done yourself?
