The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Having purchased my season ticket and membership this morning just a reminder that the early bird season ticket offer finishes in 13 days.

With it being the start of July tomorrow, and the FA Cup / Trophy Draw due out on Friday I think more people will start looking ahead to the new season this week - although its not exactly football weather at the moment.

I notice that the players are back for pre-season training this week too.

Yes, squad bonding day at Overstone this Saturday, spin class followed by lunch and a round of golf.

Brought my season ticket last week. ;)

I asked on Twitter whether some more stock of the home shirts was due in, and received a response that it'd be soon. Does anybody know if they'll be in-stock before the club shop openings early next month?

Reason being I was going to come down and get shirt, membership and season ticket in one hit. I've bought three AFC R&D shirts, one of them looks like a tent, the other two look sprayed on, so I thought i'd better actually try one on before I buy it this time.

If they're due-in after the club shop openings i'll buy them separately.

They will be in when the club shop opens.

The home shirt is a standard fit and therefore comes out quite big, the away and third kit are slim fit and therefore come up a bit small.

Have we any idea when the fixtures are out? I was contemplating getting a season ticket, but I work lots of Saturdays and wanted to see if it would be cost effective to do so, have already got lots of a Saturday mornings booked, especially in September and October, but I can make home games if I work a morning, but away games - no way !!

If the fixtures are out before the early bird deadline that would be good

We've got the latest early bird season tickets in the world and it's still not late enough!!!!, Fixtures are due on 16th, early bird finishes on 12th. You can still buy after the fixtures are out just not at the early bird price

As an aside surely you are going to be halfway to a lot of the away games!!

Rest assured Pigman any concerns about you missing the odd game should be aleviated by the fact that the club you own converts the cost of that match into a donation and therefore claims back the vat on it.

A good enough reason to buy a Season Ticket if ever i heard one

I am, but if I'm not getting away from work until 2pm a lot will be too far away to get to within the hour with Saturday traffic :( home games won't be a problem !! In Sept and Oct I've got 7 consecutive Saturdays I'm working - I guess I'll have to miss the early bird eh? Lol
