The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Post match interviews with AFCRDTV

Didn't get to see much/any of the first half, but from what I saw of the second, it was fantastic. A great credit to both the players who did exactly what they were asked by the management with no training sessions, but also to the Moulton Scholarship Programme which continues to provide players that can/should hopefully benefit our first team going forward.

Almost unfair to pick individuals out as they were all outstanding, but the likes of Kilsby, Redding and Brookes performed exactly as expected having seen them during our FA Youth Cup run earlier this season. Seb Inness I hadn't seen before but he was superb, whilst I know there were others besides those that the management were really impressed with.

We are hoping that the final will be played on Tuesday 30th April at a venue TBC, but as yet, this isn't confirmed. It is not guaranteed to be at Sixfields.

I would prefer it not to be at Sixfields. Maybe 500-600 fans in that mausoleum?

Realistically where else can it be in Northamptonshire? Especially given the police are going to want it segregated. Brackley? Corby? Peterborough?

As you say, it would need to be segregated, which dictates one of those 4 I'd have thought.

What is the doubt about Sixfields? When do NL playoffs commence, as that could rule out Brackley. Corby would be my choice, as best placed geographically.

Given the NFA's record of totally messing up their cup competitions I'm going with Wollaston.

I'm going with Finedon Rec!

Knowing the FA we'll play the final at Brackley!!!

Hopefully not Sickfields as it has absolutely no atmosphere with 500 people. Well actually no atmosphere with 5,000 there!!

There was an atmosphere the last time we played K*ttering at sixfields
