The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Along with alot of stuff that was said last night the bit that really fu..ed me off was when KC said that the japanese group wanted to do a crawley with RDFC and theres now sod all we can do about it except wonder what could have been talk about kicking you when you are down
2)Invest £500 on a job for the owners out of money raised
3)The country is on the verge of going tits up and the inland revenue are now going to get fu..all were as if they would have agreed a deal they would have atleast got something 'are you catching on Mr Peter Bone MP,Thought you would help out where you could well where is the sense in the above :roll:

If we had been turned into a Crawley I think I would've stopped going anyway. I don't want to be a Crawley, I want to win a promotion without spending bucketloads of cash and just buying a title, what's the fun in doing that?

Hmm, I think that comment will get a wider airing due to its ironic nature ;)

Well, yes I see the irony in that, I didn't experience the glory days but I just don't see the fun in going to games when you know you're probably going to win and it's just because your 'shady investors' are bankrolling you to the hilt for their amusement. The great thing about 09/10 was that no one really expected it.

If you read my previous posts you'd see that I never saw a promotion under the Griggs days. I still stand by my point about it not being that fun though. ;)

All due respect Sara, I have been there from the early days and believe me it was fun going to see RDFC and expecting to win - but it was football and it didn't always happen. Part of winning was seeing good football played by our team, promotions, Millennium Stadium play-off, Football League Champions and enjoying all of that. Then came the dip, losing our best players in one day dropping out of the Football League and then witnessing the rebuild after that - which you have been a part of and I have to say I have enjoyed that as well.

From now on it will be all up hill but max Griggs legacy will not be Nene Park (bulldozed in 2015), rather it will be RDFC and its supporters that will go on.

Don't know if Max realises this but the fans he brought together will carry on the dream.

Hearts are not made of bricks and mortar...

Most of us tried it, and by god it was good stuff.
