The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Next Tuesday is the first home match of the pre-season, when AFCRD take on MK Dons at Hayden Road

£5 is plenty for any pre season game imo

Hopefully if we do get a good crowd then it's putting money into the coffers for the forth coming season. That will then hopefully allow us to invest in the 1st Team a bit more I'm quite happy to pay this if it means we can then be in a position to offer the right contract to a player like Sneds

Totally agree, Tamworth are charging £10 for pre season friendlies regardless of whether they are playing Championship teams or Conference teams.
I would imagine for most people if they can see that the money is actually going into the first team they would be happy to pay it.

Hitchin charged £13 for Luton game & got 2200+

I'd be inclined to agree with you, but this again smacks of missed opportunity to reward membership, and promote early sign up.

£10 for standard entry, as mentioned others have charged this and more, but £5/6 for 2022/23 members.

Gain the few quid extra per head on those only here to see the league side, but also reward those loyal members who have already committed for the new season

I think £9 is ok for friendlies but what a great idea rdusher, it would be great if there was a way to be able to buy a ticket with your membership number or via a members link or something at a discount, don’t know if it is possible with ticketsource.

But it's only around 15 minutes from Luton, so they probably knew that a lot of luton fans would turn up.

As is Northampton from us but will we get a good crowd?? I'd like to think £9 is attractive enough, so hopefully we will
