The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

On our site it says its Tuesday 2nd.
On BBC it says its Tuesday 2nd.
On Histons it says its Wednesday 3rd.
My Memory seems to think it was a Wednesday when it was announced.

School boy error not checking first but i have verbally agreed to go toWembley to see England Play Egypt on wednesday, because stupidly i thought that our OFFICIAL site and BBC could not possibly both be wrong. Now I am in a proper awkward situation because obviously i'll go to Histon, but will have to let down my friends who have booked the date off work and are relying on me the only one with an England Fan Number to get the tickets.

SO Tuesday??? or Wednesday?? i'm sure they both won't mind playing it on tuesday to help me out ;)

It is Wednesday 3rd March - as confirmed at http://www.thediamondsfc.com/page/AwayT ... 70,00.html on the OWS. The original story is also there - http://www.thediamondsfc.com/page/NewsD ... 62,00.html

Unfortunately the fixture list page is maintained by the Perform Group people, so can sometimes be out of step with the News / Tickets pages.

Ahhhh didn't think to look on that bit cheers formic.

Have to let them down gently, would never turn down a trip back to where Charles Ademeno scored his one and only goal for us such great memories. :lol:

There is also a list of all the remaining away games, including the new date for the Mansfield game at http://www.thediamondsfc.com/page/AwayT ... 66,00.html

Looking at that, most of our away games left are quite close by, Histon, Kidderminster, Tamworth, K*ttering, Mansfield, AFC hopefully these should draw some good travelling numbers on the road for the run in.

You're right - we suffered the worst of the long trips early in the season.

If we are still in the frame for the playoffs when we go to Mansfield on 13/4 it will bring back memories of the time we went there when aiming for the Division 3 playoffs - and we had a great turnout that day.

I'd kill for the same result!

wasn't that the only time lowe scored a hat-trick? think brett angel got the other one. like you said, good turn out. i've not been back since.

I remember coming out of the ground that day and it was about the time they were going to sell Chris Greenacre for a shed load of money and one of their fans said to us" If Greenacre is worth £500K what is your big coloured guy worth?" ( Onandi Lowe) We now know the answer. :(

I remember coming out of the ground that day and being spat at.
