The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Seems to be some confusion going around..

I'm sure its

2nd -v- 5th
3rd -v- 4th

Isn't it?

Have heard people thinking it's

2nd -v- 4th
3rd -v- 5th

Can someone confirm please

It has always been 2nd v 5th.

Yes probably means we will play Oxford - rather them than Luton on present form. Happy to play the Hatters in the final though...

Had another thought - we could be playing York as Oxford are falling like a stone.

York or Oxford would be fantastic. Luton would be bad for several reasons.

The only way we're gunna play York is if we finish runners-up or both us and York can overhaul either one of Oxford/Luton/Stevenage!

I think we can overhaul Oxford, so could finish 3rd. It is possible that York could do the same, given Oxford's form of late.

I know we don't care about who we get for footballing reason (on the pitch) but my sole reasoning for avoiding Luton in the semi finals is because of what they might try to do off the pitch and the policing costs surrounding it.

I agree it would be better to avoid Luton in the semis so we can spank them at Wembley.

Its not going to be at Wembley because of costs. It too expensive to steward and police. The nearest neutral ground that I can think of will be MKDons. (If we get there with Luton)
