The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Burge has just posted on Twitter that he is "free and available" for AFCRD if asked.

Does he still play for Corby? Would he be a viable option for us?

Personally I think it would be great to see him at AFC.

be a great signing , trouble is i believe Andy now lives in Liverpool

Not practical because of the distance. He left Corby last December and was a shadow of his former self.
Wouldn't improve the side on what I witnessed when I watched Corby.

I believe he also has coaching experience, though?

Just thought I should post it up as I thought his comment was interesting. As well as the Tweet I posted above, he wrote something last night saying something like "If only there was a club I could help out tomorrow..." This could have been directed at anyone, or just a general thought, but it could have been about us.

Apparently so but mainly connected with women's football. I think we have plenty of coaches.

Fair enough, just thought I might post it up!

From the way the season is going so far it doesn't look like we really need him anyway ;)

You really believe that? I take your point about it being ridiculously impractical (i'm not sure why he'd even want to play for us given where he's based) but come on, he's not that bad. There's no way he wouldn't get in our side.

That's my opinion based on every home game I saw him play for Corby last season. He wouldn't put in the necessary effort required at this level. I accept that football is about opinions and that's mine.

Also he would be one of the lowest earners at the club, with the rest on £2,500 per week :lol: :lol: :lol:
