The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Fans forum next week.

no date or time though?
should we guess?

Isn't there meant to be a trust meeting on Tuesday as well?

Well for all their critics and the weeks of silence we've had from them, at least they're appearing to care and make an effort to save the club, although they're going to have to do a lot better than that to make up for the goings on of the last few months thats for sure.

Will the Beasants have the balls to attend the fans forum this time?

Well, if they do attend I hope the fans won't turn the meeting into a witchhunt and look backwards, we need to look forward and be supportive of any efforts they are making to get us out of this sorry mess. If we appeal and have new backers, then we may get a stay of execution at the Court and be able to salvage something. I'd hate the meeting to become a shouting match with recriminations and accusations flying about, its pointless.

I don't trust them, I think they are responsible for what is happening to my club (albeit not solely responsible), but if they are in there batting for my side then fair play to them - but I'm no-one's fool. I will NOT dip my hand into my pocket to support them, but I do want to hear what they have to say.

Appeals, legal advice and possible action, looks like being an interesting fortnight, just hope we get past Monday !!

Am I a bit sad, as long as we can survive, I find the prospect of starting out again with new owners in a lower division with low expectaions quite exciting.......

Same, more exciting than the Conference anyway, I could hop on the bus to the game at Bedford!

More exciting now were not in the conference!!

I cant see us surviving, we couldnt generate enough interest to survive at Nene Park whilst in the Prem, how can we generate alot of interest at a lower level but with the same facility outgoings.

If we survived to play in the UCL etc it would have to be away from Nene Park otherwise the overheads will destroy us again.

I can't either but at least let us dream for a couple of days. ;)

Oh and as for another fans forum next week, surely next week will be too late? The winding up order is on Monday so we could be out of business by the time we have this fans forum!

Unless they know something we don't know.
