The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

In contact with any popular former players / players from this season?

Might be worth trying to get hold of some and get them down to the forum on Tuesday.

I thought the same. I saw diamondsforever mentioned Duane on Facebook. Maybe 'big' players like this can be targetted and can mention what the club mean to them. I'm gutted I can't go on Tuesday :/

Nah, I commented on something someone else said about him. I think they were asking what Duane would make of it. Good question though

I just think it would be a boost to everyone present at the forum if someone like Duane showed up. He wouldn't even need to say anything. Sometimes it's easy to think that the club doesn't mean anything to the players, but we've given an opportunity to people like Matt Johnson, Alan Power and Curtis Osano. Not to mention the likes of Burgess, Bell, Tomlin etc who still go to games when they can.

I'm sure Marcus Kelly would turn up.

It could be worth while trying to contact Gary Mills, sadly I know longer have his details. He knows players both past and present and being a local lad a lot of other players from other clubs.

I quite often see Tim Wooding and can mention it if I see him before Tuesday which could be possible.

I could also mail Matt Wild, former Club Secretary as he is now at Posh and might be able to spread the word.

Please let me know regards Matt if there is anything specific you would like sending

I could ask Markus Kelly to come if you would like

It's up to you, i'm not going to be giving them a champagne reception on arrival ;) . Just thought it a decent idea.
