How long will Cockoo FC last in RDFC's nest..?

Who cares?

Yes, but good name for them...

There is an awful lot of threads and posts about them considering you don't care.

Would be a great chant for future games, as the bird sings...'cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo...'

25 years

That's a long time in the nest..?

Maybe by that time afcrd won't be in a different town as well?

I give them one season and a change of name will appear as cash flow will demand more support from the local area and KT fans refuse to relocate.
'Rockingham Forest' is my prediction or something similar, for a football team in such a diverse partly urban/rural area that we live in. But i fear that is only short term.
In the long term, the ways things are going, I can't see foootball at a local level surviving.
20 years from now it will only be clubs in cities that have teams. Goodbye to the Poppies, Cobbblers and the Posh - the Foxes might just survive.
But hey, we can still watch the Diamionds Boys play football in the park.

KTFC beware, your day is numbered...

Peterborough is a city, hence the big cathedral ;)

I get what your saying though, the FA needs focus it's attention to the lower situation and do something about it. I feel RDFC is one of the first of many...
