The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

After years, and years of saying different, I reckon it's time to come to terms with the fact they are a conference level team. surely?

Congrats to York

I feel for Azzer and Curtis, but I can't say I feel for the club overall, I'm sure the deluded arrogant pricks will be saying they'll come back and walk the league again next season, can't believe they still cant get out of the league they hate so much :lol: :lol:

Poor old Ed !!! ;) I think Loootun are waiting for us to get back into the Conference !!

I feel for the ex-Diamonds boys, but Luton as a club - delighted for their fans ;)

YES!

Sorry for Az and Curtis, but delighted overall!

York earned this after their 8-year stay.

In a Luton Town facebook group my Luton supporting friend posted in, some-one commented this:
"taking 30k to Wembley, and this is a team that is jokingly called a conference side"
- Um, you're called a conference side because you're about to play in it for the fourth year in a row. (think I'm right in saying fourth?) It's time they stopped being so arrogant and thinking they have the automatic right to promotion just because they have a large amount of fans. You can't pretend you're still a Championship side just because you used to play in it around 8 years ago.

Fantasic that York won today, i'm really glad for them.

The Saliant Point WE should note is Support size don't win you League titles, promotions or Trophies.

The same irritates me about a large amount of Arsenal fans who still believe they're a title winning team when they haven't won a trophy for 7 or 8 years

Yes but only a few days ago we had some of ours fans moaning about not being placed in the UCL prem due to our size and some are expecting a quick rise back up the Leagues due our fan base.

Fixed it for you. ;)

Those comments, by very few people, came out of hope/disappointment - not a feeling of divine right. Luton fans I know always go on about how they shouldn't be here because of the 30 point deduction, they didn't get relegated by their on-field performances, but by red tape.

They are now STILL in the conference because they haven't been found to be good enough - people laugh at them because they bleat on about their proud history - well it counts for nowt !! Ploppy fans, take note ! ;)
