The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Assuming we'd be in this league if we were to still be playing at that level when the times comes:

EASTERN DIVISION

Blackstones, CRC, Deeping, Dereham, Diss, Ely, Gorleston, Great Yarmouth, Haverhill, Irchester, King’s Lynn, Kirkley, Mildenhall, Newmarket, Norwich Utd, Northern Star, S & L Corby, St Ives, Thrapston, Walsham-le-Willows, Wellingborough, Wisbech, Wroxham, Yaxley.

There's some bloody long journeys in there for us. Dereham, Norwich, Gorleston, Great Yarmouth to name a few.

CRC play at The Abbey Stadium, and Gorleston have a pretty neat looking ground for the level they're playing at, entirely covered.

CRC is effectively the Cambridge United's reserve side and CRC stands for Cambridge Regional College. ;)

A return to Great Yarmouth sounds good. I remember the pre-season friendly we played there many moons back, and a trip to a nightclub with the players. I was staggering around the dance floor for about an hour unaware of a condom on my shoulder that Michael McElhatton had placed there. Happy days.

Smashing old wooden stand at Gt Yarmouth which i think is a listed building

Great Yarmouth in August sounds quite appealing

Still a least one of our fans won't have far to travel 8-)

An away game at Diss would be a dream come true , only live a mile from Brewers green lane (Diss homeground) .Terry Westley was manager of Diss many years ago he was the one who spotted Matthew Upson and took him to Luton ,Upsons dad still lives opposite Diss' ground.
