Any one know what car parking's like around the ground? Can't leave Rushden until 12.30pm, so any pointers would be appreciated!

I'll be leaving a bit later than that! There's a big rec next to he ground by the looks of it. Perhaps they'll use that

As per the preview - "There is a club-house on site, with adjacent parking, and there are over 300 covered seats available. Northwood have advised they have also made arrangements for additional parking should this be necessary, and that the facilities will be available from 12:30pm."
The ground is in a parkland setting, as its at the end of a long narrow road once you leave the main road, and has its own surfaced car park (shared with the cricket club etc), next to the clubhouse, which is outside the ground in the style of Deeping Rangers, but Northwood have made arrangements for additional parking using the parkland, which given the weather forecast should be OK.



The ground is hidden on the right of the clubhouse you can see on this pic - you can also see it won't be possible to park on the approach road.

Cheers Formic!

I'm leaving at 11, don't want to get stuck on m1 :lol:

It's time to give Kingy a start i reckon. I'd rest Elliot for this game but the rest of the starting line up I'd keep as Huntingdon

Maybe even time to start Liburd also, see what he can do from the start

It is not wise to change a team, just because of a loss. It was the formation that was wrong. I would start with the team at Huntingdon and if it doesn't look like we are going to get any joy, make the changes earlier than they were made on Wednesday.
Let's support the team and Management, this is a cup game, cheer the boys on to a win.

Diamonds 2-0 up! :lol: [/u]
