The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

With only ten more sleeps to go until the club's biggest fixture to date, I was just wondering who is going to be going to Dover and what are your plans for getting behind the team?

Having asked the club secretary last night, I can confirm that we will be playing in our "third" kit of light blue shirts, dark blue shorts and light blue socks so those of you who like making up songs had better get your thinking caps on as "yellow army" isn't going to be appropriate.

This also precludes the yellow pages from coming in handy although searching on a popular online auction site has led me to find that it is possible to get light and dark blue balloons fairly cheaply.

Was anyone planning to take the drums? I'm not sure where these are but I am guessing they can be dug out of the shop/Dale's Bar on the day and put onto the coach if they are going to be used.

"Light Blue Armw" :lol:

The drums are available, but I'm not taking them 8-)

Blue army sounds easier :lol:

I have said previously, perhaps we should all congregate in the same area. Is it a walk around ground?

Booked my flights yesterday, if we take them to a replay I'll be extremely pissed off because my return is on the Monday. Now all I have to do is figure how I'm getting to Dover and back.

It's a shame it won't be segregated because if there's one thing I've missed about the away games with the old club, it's that when we have a good following we're not all in the same place and can't create great atmosphere's like we did at Oxford/Luton/Aldershot.

I have never been to Dover, but judging by pictures they have terraces behind goals. The majority that will go will probably be on this messageboard so we just need to try stand in one place. Obviously that won't suit everyone but we can be the real difference. Obviously the second half might change when everyone decides to go down the other end.

Any news on a coach yet?

'Light Blue Kit'. Whoopee, that's a nailed on win for us then. ;) I'm sure Dazzler and Stagman know exactly where the drums are stored all we need are a few 'drummer boys'.
Can't wait for this match, it's going to be a great day out.

I`m well versed in making a lot of noise :lol: and more than happy to accompany myself and others on drums.

Well that's percussion sorted, what about a string or brass section? ;)
