The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Signs left at D&D to let people know Game was off, if they hadn't heard.


Still some water left at the D&D, though pitch area mostly dry.


Areas still waterlogged at D&D, so good decision to move the game.


The flag at Crawley Green.


Kick off.


First Kick Off, closer view.


Low free kick toward the end.

Looks like we need to buy some new shorts for the lads ;) - Great to see some snaps...gutted i couldnt be there for this (work evenings) - Great to hear so many people showed up..considering the change of venue last minute. And the victory is a complete bonus

Yeah I'll echo the stuff about the away support. I thought it would be around 20, but 71 for a friendly at short notice is really great. I can't wait for Wootton on the 25th, I'm hopeful for 2-300 there now.

BTW will the match highlights be on AFCR&DTV?

Not sure if there was any AFCRDTV away, but Redsnapper will have some proper pics for the goal celebrations etc.. for the official match report.

Nope unfortunately we don't do AFCRDTV for friendlies, we don't want to give our opponents any sneak previews!

They're enormous and approaching the size of those silly shorts that seem in fashion with pro boxers and the Portugese Euro 2012 squad.

Wellingborough are at home to the Cobblers at the D&D on Thursday. Be interesting to see if that game goes ahead.

Don't start.....they will have smaller shorts in time for the start of the season! ;)

Who on earth were those shorts bought for, Shrek? :lol: ;)
