The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Come on then, let's have them. What were your best AFCR&D related bits of 2013?

The last gasp goal against Cambridge - nothing has topped it .............. Yet !!

The celebration after Alfie's goals against Dover & Cambridge, with the latter edging it, last day of season at Spencer as where ever the Club goes in the future that day will always be special, and I may have to include the 3rd goal in the 2-2 draw with Eynesbury.

There has been so many I will struggle. Don't know what order they would appear in but my top 4 would be

The pitch invasion at Spencer, what a day!!
The build up to getting promotion, the final 6 games was just nailbiting
Cambridge city at home in the fa cup, Alfs goal will stay with me, my bet came in :lol:
Spalding away.. one for dale and the other for simply seeing Spaldings run grounded!!

I would like to put Dover up there but I'm afraid my top 4 comes above that
A very proud fan, roll on the new year!!

Don't know why you were having any pies at Ashington in 2013 ;)

But the goals against Dover and Cambridge are my 2 highlights of the year for me, dare I say it, even slightly better than Spencer, cause while that was of course a special day, I always had a feeling we'd do it that day, whereas I didn't think we'd have either of the Cambridge or Dover moments tbh, and I can't quite say the atmosphere at Spencer was as good as it was in that terrace at Dover either. But hey, what a year (and to think it began with that crushing defeat at Oadby), first half amazing for our promotion run ending in the celebrations at Spencer and second half with our memorable FA Cup run with the trips down to Hertfordshire and then the Cambridge and Dover games, that awesome game at Wulfrunians in the Vase and our victory over 'record-breaking' Spalding in December, brilliant

Pies removed, though they were fresh in the mind in early Jan, and overnight delivery is available from the pie Man.

Sam's goal against Eynesbury was the most mental I went in 2013 so i'd say that was maybe my moment of the year. My favourite game in terms of 90 minutes of pure enjoyment was the 8-0 win against Cockfosters.

Other than that I think the obvious ones have been stated. Alfie's winner against Cambridge, Alfie's goal at Dover (and just that game/day in general).

I don't think anybody has celebrated more than that goal!
Only time i've come close was Dunks equalizer against Wulfrunians and quite relieved with his one away at Dunstable. If we were to make it all the way in the Vase we could look back at see were minutes in some games and an open goal (again away at Dunstable) from being knocked out!

The scenes at Spencer will live long in the memory.

The win at Sileby in February, I think everyone was joining in with the singing under that shelter, and when we scored we all went mental!
