The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

why haven't the catering staff been paid. i know that you will all be saying whats this got to do with football but i think after the complaints i have heard today would you work for a month and then not get paid ?

Thats nothing to do with us is it? Dont our catering company pay them? Cloverdale ?

Also heard on the grapevine the Groundsman have not been paid for 7 months and todays game was nearly called off due to the pitch being waterlogged!

Harpur said about the game nearly being called off on BBC Northants

Perhaps you didn't hear the PA passing out thanks to the groundstaff for their efforts in getting the game on - or didn't see them sanding the goalmouth in front of the PDB, then mopping up excess water with towels shortly before the players came out ?
