The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

The latest Press Release from the R&DFC Supporters Trust is on the new Trust Website here

(The new website was due to be launched shortly, but the launch has been brought forwards given current circumstances).

At Raunds football club :? Why cant they hold it at Nene Park, seems stupid

Is Helen still on the Trust Board? Seems strange if she is, surely a conflict of interest? :?

Don't get me started on The Trust! It seems to me that they haven't a clue about the urgency of the current desperate situation at NP!

By the time they hold their meeting our beloved club could be out of business. They need to get their heads out of the sand - and very quickly! Also what's this about having the meeting at Raunds?

I know we all need to pull together but please don't let them take the lead on this because they sold us out the last time!

Although you seem to be very passionate with your dislike for the trust, i do agree with you (if not as passionately) on the trust! I want a member when they first started but left when a couple of season then i relised that the communcation with its members was woeful and it wasnt as open as I thought. These are the main reason why many left. The trust needs to address these issues. I believe that coming together as a united front will help our campain, thats why I set up 'The Diamonds Supporters Group' as the focus point for this movement, as it seemed the trust were slow to get out of the blocks. It seems the trust isnt going far enough to try and save this club and i feel TDSG is the only way forward for us as a united group!

I'm in agreement with both of you here, the 26th is ages away! I hope we can all get behind TDSG and make it a force because the Trust just isn't getting it done quick enough. Having said that the news about them trying to resurrect the U9s to U18s is a great thing and shows what the Trust can do.

Is there no way the Trust meeting can't be brought forward to later this week?

The Trust just seems to do nothing at the moment. It was endorsed by the vast majority of members at the AGM ( nearly 3 months ago) that a merger with the Travel club would be looked into - result so far, NOTHING. No updates as requested by the members, no press releases. Now we're using another local football club to hold our meeting? SHEESH , what a mess.

Why don't you put the question to John Souster at A & J Buildings?

Maybe the Trust cannot use Nene Park as we may be under the illusion the KC owns the Facilities or maybe he just owns the Land.

The 1st thing on Tuesday is to make clear is who owns what at Nene Park :?:
