The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

How the pitch is? Couple of games gone in the conference so far.

Nothing official but an Ox fan rang the ticket office and the lady said to the best of her knowledge the game was on and not even an inspection. We need confirmation on the offy site though, it did say to check there on the day.

I bet we're the only club in the BSP with pitch covers.

Agreed, but by what time do we assume that? ;) What's happenned to Radio Diamonds website, I can't find it ?

Just got back from taking the covers off, with about 10 or so other volunteers - including Johno - welcome back!

Pitch seems fine. A little frosty in places but was just surface frost the groundsman said, and no problem.

A few quick pics...(not quite sure why they are half chopped, but am sure ID will know)

Covers coming off about 10am, once the air temp was up a bit


Sun covers part of pitch

That's excellent Dazzler, thanks.

I helped take them off and seemed all fine to me
