The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Just been looking at photos in this topic, it's starting to look a superb setup:

Shame it's not actually in Barnet!

That's where I'm working now, reminds me so much of Nene Park, with some of the facilities on site, Barnet could really go places if it's run well. Just need to get back in the Football League as well. If you get on the train at Stanmore to go to Wembley look out for it on the left, it's 44 acres and quite a complex!

I wonder who they borrowed the trophies from, especially the cricket one

Where's their funding coming from? I wouldn't admit to having hives

more importantly how will it be sustainable in the future!

Lots of questions here, appears to be only a temporary move, as fans want their club to be playing in Barnet.

Saw a photo the other day that showed the initial development of The Hive back in 2004 when it was going to be a new ground for Wealdstone and which was never completed because of financial difficulties with the developer.

“@Groundtastic: The Hive in 2012. Work on what should have been Wealdstone's new home, ceased in 2004 when the developers went bust.

I swear I went past all this on the tube from Stanmore to Wembley Park to watch Bradford v Northampton!

Looks decent
