The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Is Justin planning on building a squad for the future, hence why he only seems to buy younger players and the average age of the squad is about 23?

Is the limit one question each?

Has the club given up on trying to sign Rene Howe?

Is there a sell-on clause for Tomlin? (Something i'm sure will be mentioned).

Will the new board of directors be able to pursue the idea of a coffee shop (as raised at the last forum) where the current club shop is, to take advantage of the potential 100,000 people per annum coming to the new NHS outpatients centre next door?

I think it will be on the night but post as many as you like here. I'll forward them all and hopefully they'll all be answered one way or another.

When does Justin's new contract run until?

What was this season's break even attendance figure?

1. At the next Conference AGM, will the issue of the Conference directive on ticket pricing with regard to seating and standing be raised and attempts made to overturn it so that we do not have to charge the same for standing and seating?

2. Are steps going to be untaken to tie up our key players who are out of contract in the summer on new deals?

3. What steps and initiatives are being undertaken to bring more fans to Nene Park? Are you aware that not many people with young children under the age of 8 realise that that their kids can get in for free?

4. What plans are afoot over the next year to encourage more local businesses to be more involved at Nene Park?

5. What is the current financial state of the club?

6. Will greater steps be undertaken to market events at Nene Park beyond the ET and the Official Site?

This one has already been confirmed ToD - see the Alty programme - I think it said it will open in March. It also confirmed about the reopening of Seasons Bistro.

Oh, thanks Formic. I musta missed that one (I didn't get an Alty programme), so I need another question then ;)

Are there plans to increase the Teams Playing Budgets for 2011-12 and if so how will this generation of increased money be provided. There has been significant reduction in the Administration this year, will this be redirected into the playing budget or will replacements be sought to cover the positions that are now vacant?
