The scoreboard came from the Old Den when Millwall moved out.....in 1993. I'd say its a bit past its sell by date now!!

Shame in a way to see it all go.....the stadium itself wasn't too bad, the catering there was excellent. THe boxes, the Diamond Centre....didn't do them much good did it? And the training facilites there were the best for miles around. All seems like a bit of a waste!

It is proposed that elements of the famous heritage of Rushden & Diamonds FC will be conserved in a new setting.

Might be the best quote of all time

I'm glad you spotted this as well. Priceless. I wonder what Debanker would make of it?

The folly of the whole project compared to if it had been invested here.

Tee hee

I hated the vanity project (Chamber's slip that lead to their winner that time is still my worst ever Cobblers experience mainly because I live in Rushden!) - however, Ive got a lot of time for AFC. Even watched them twice last season when we were not playing.

I know one of the lads on their board, they are a decent club and good luck to em.

As for Nene Park/Toy Town...a total waste of Max's money. Just a shame that t wat Cousins will make a shed load from it. Thats the bit I don't like. Proper thief, all very calculated what he did...

Maybe should not be on this thread but I saw today that The Bulls have been another extension to the winding up order, its a shame to see this club potentially go under it was always a nice away day, I read this on there message board and it pretty much sums up there dilemma.

Quote;  n the light of this latest adjournment, surely it is now time for a re-assessment of the current situation. The general consensus appears to be that a boycott will continue until all creditors have been paid and, for some fans, every member of the new regime have departed Edgar Street and returned to their homeland in Essex. As I see it, this latter condition is not going to happen any time soon and the incumbents are here for the foreseeable future. Slowly, I admit, debts are being paid. How? I've no idea, but the fact remains they can play this game consistently as long as they keep finding sufficient funds to satisfy the judge who, incidentally, has no axe to grind and would rather see creditors paid than wind up the company to leave them with nothing.
Ok, so where does that leave us? Some suggest we hang in there and wait for the outcome of the latest adjournment, meaning another six weeks of nailbiting which could easily end in yet a further postponement, especially if money is found to pay HMRC. Meantime the rift between various factions of supporters grows ever wider with many, I fear, shifting their allegiance to other clubs or simply losing interest and accepting the finality of it all. I fail to see how starting a Phoenix club at this stage could possibly succeed whilst HUFC (1939) still lives on, with too many obstacles to overcome. I fully understand and share the despair and sadness felt by the majority of fans, witnessing the rapid decline and apparent death throes of a great little club, with its proud history and respected by many throughout the football world. However, maybe all is not lost but it would call for a dramatic change of heart by many who presently would rather see hell freeze over.
I honestly believe that, as things stand, we are fighting a losing battle and are doomed to failure when it comes to evicting the new owners. The council have shown their reluctance to eject them for non-payment of rent and rates arrears and the football authorities are less than interested in our predicament. Opportunities to thwart the existing management in whatever plans they have in mind are few and far between, leaving us in a state of limbo. We must, therefore, adopt a different course of action and cast off any previous diehard mentality. Firstly, I believe it is essential that the Trust opens dialogue with the directors of the club, not to simply exchange pleasantries but to establish firm conditions to the satisfaction of trust members. By this I mean regular communication with the trust representatives regarding team details, club policies and plans, sponsorship, etc; etc., preferably with, no..demanding, a trust member in a non-executive position on the board. I think you will probably get the gist of what I'm suggesting but, for those in doubt, I can only say that unless we challenge them from within we stand little chance of ever experiencing league football at Edgar Street again. With dedicated Trust members at our disposal, I am sure we could convince the club's board that it would be to everyone's benefit to encourage the fans support, not to treat us like lepers, and in consequence increase income to pay for better players, improve conditions and provide a higher standard of football. Regardless of your present feelings towards these people, they are here to stay, at least for some considerable time and, for many of us, we have limited years left to us to realise the dream of Hereford United rising again.
I know that many of you will dismiss my post without a thought and, fair enough, that is your prerogative. However, may I just say that hitting one's head against a brick wall is not a sensible pre-occupation and better surely to approach the problem from a different angle even if it goes against the grain. It is highly unlikely that the current administration could possibly benefit from any development in the short term giving us time to install resolute supporter representation within the club's board room. The HUST AGM is set for Sept. 18th; maybe time to really discuss new tactics. unquote;

A sad state of affairs.
