The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

hi all ,after finaly getting my dad to watch us :lol: he said to me after the last game WE must be at home next week ,i agreed it must be and told him to look on the ows, he looked at me as if i was a donkey with three heads :lol: he said theres no fixture list on there,,,,by there he ment this forum,,,i have pointed out there is an ows ,which he didnt know existed,,,he came out with "im 74 you know ,how are people my age supposed to know that :lol: looking round at our games there are quite a few older generation people there ,so is it possible to do a sticky thread with the fixture list please (18s aswell if poss ;) just a thought,thanks(ps it will help me also ;) ;) )

Happy to do that if someone can catagorically tell me that it is OK to do so. I know we have discussed this point previously regarding Football League fixtures and I know it was said to be fine at this level, but i'd rather make sure before I go ahead and do it.

There are many issues surrounding it so I'd be inclined to use some caution and not do it.

That said, I will create a thread with a link to the relelvant pages of the official website and Dazzler will post up the next fixture on a weekly basis.

Surely this would suffice.

That's what I've done....you should be able to see it at the very top of the board under 'Fixtures'

The fixtures coming up, are posted on the main forum in the same format as a game specific thread, shortly after each game, to highlight the next weeks games, to get people talking about them, and to act as a reminder/prompt.

The main Official site does have the confirmed fixtures (though note we have a number coming up which are yet to be confirmed due to ground sharing, and cups being involved) - these can be found under the Teams/First Team/Fixtures drop down.

We also plan to have some fixture cards to pick as well, for people to keep in their wallets, but I haven't done those as yet, until the next few games are finalised. This will only take you to January anyway, given the way UCL publish the fixtures.

Excellent. Should easily get 1000 now for our next home match. ;)

Also after every game, when leaving the next games will be clearly displayed at the exit. As we were not sure of the date of the next Home Game at the last one, I only put up the next match (which was Away), but normally I'd plan to have next Home/Away and U18 fixture, to cover for those that don't have regular internet acces, or maybe don't buy programmes.

More announcements over the PA reminding fans of the date of the next home match wouldn't go amiss.

That''s already done as standard (both before the match, at half time, and as people are leaving), and we're also working to improve the PA as well.
