The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

for KC to lease the ground to K*ttering, this enables us to play there too without the burden of the costs.

We can get on with getting a manager and team for the southern league and actually look forward to the season.

How can K*ttering afford the stadium anyway? Or are they not in as much financial problems?.. whats the deal...

From the pictures I have seen today, it would appear that Nene Park has fallen into a terrible state of disrepair in the last month. KC said at the FF that he was 'heartbroken' about the state of NP then, he must be suicidal now.

If they do move in with us we're collectively going to have to put a shift in to sort it all out.

Can you explain the pictures BR? Overgrown weeds or broken windows and stuff like that?

In the Chron there is a picture of Pitch 2, which looks wildly overgrown given that it has probably only been neglected for a month or so. This is the same pitch 2 that we weren't allowed to use for the fans game because it was being 'renovated' - as 'TwinkleToesTomlin' will testify.

The picture on IceCoolPsycho's blog seems to indicate that the binmen have stopped collecting the rubbish too.

Just seen the picture on that blog, that seems quite a lot of rubbish for a month, during which time surely there hasn't been that much going on?

The "binmen" have never collected the rubbish, it was all put in a skip which hasn't been emptied in ages as the bills haven't been paid to the skip firm. The car booters all leave their unwanted stuff behind and the big pile of rubbish is the result. Considering the local proximity of the S & E centre and nursery, it may well become a council issue very soon if it isn't sorted as it will attract rats (I believe it's called an "actionable nuisance").

Glorified binmen then. ;)

Are the car-booters not obligated to take their rubbish?

Can think its that easy, why would K*ttering lease the ground to save Diamonds money,

Diamonds will still have to pay money they cannot afford.

Diamonds will play second fiddle in their own back yard.

Most was against it when K*ttering had ground issues but are now all for it? Strange?
