The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

They believe that they have 1500-2000 fans + 400 'floaters'

anyone agree? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Couldn't care less about them to be honest - never did and never will.

Their attendances were similar to ours WHEN they were in K*ttering, 1500-2000 next year I don't think so...They will probably lose a few regulars in the move, and I can't imagine very many R&D supporters will stay and watch them. Lots of 3-figure attendances next year for the scum I feel :lol:

they really need to start the season well, else it could all go wrong by xmas.

Let's hope that they start badly then...

Absolutely, no way do they even have 1000 fans for definite and failure to have decent season I think will see crowds of down to 400/500, though it will be interesting to see what their first attendance will be, personally I can see there being reasonable local interest (though hopefully not from Irth'boro or Rushden) for the first one and they'll probably get a decent enough crowd of 1000+ or something but after that who knows, their season on the pitch undoubtedly will be crucial to getting decent crowds, can't see people travelling and paying £3 for parking and £18 for a ticket to watch a team struggling in the lower half of the table.

Very true. It will get seriously bad for them on the Tuesday champions league nights, as we found out. 2000+ supporters? That guy will be in for a big shock... I'll be surprised if they get half that on a regular basis.

Can't see them getting 1500.

Of course they will probably get 50+ ...90 minutes goals as they always seem to, during the season.

I really hope they have a bad season, would love to see them fail.
