Rushden and diamonds expelled from the conference. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13738222.stmHoddle was going to save them with a link to his academy, but didnt. Im so glad that we are one of the more secure clubs these days after the shit we've been through. |

Village team. They were only ever made viable by one man's fortune. Always going to happen once the money ran out.

True....but they've tidy facilities there, shame we couldn't have had someone like Griggs to invest in our club. R and D away Boxing Day 03, was without doubt the worst experience I've ever had in nearly 50 years of support. Toxic combination of personal stuff and dire football...  |

I heard he was a Northampton fan, but when the board wouldnt give him full control he threw his toys out of the pram and set up a rival team? For me that is unforgivable and the hallmarks of a cunt. We dont need someone like that. If I somehow won the lottery and had a proposal for the STFC and they turned me down, the last thing I would do is go and invest in Supermarine out of spite. I never bothered going to either of our games there. Just didnt appeal to me. Ive got a list of clubs like that I just dont bother with for regular games. Yeovil was one of them, but we relented this year and went down on the train, big mistake. |

Fair point, but he did build a good community facility, which he handed over to their Trust when he quit. Makes a change from cunts who are trying to take money out, whatever his reason. |

Thats all it is now, a community facility. If he had bided his time Im sure he could have gone back to Northampton in 3 or 4 years and really pushed them up to the 2nd tier. Overrall he's damaged football in that area. Northamptonshire cannot support 2 FL teams. |

A community facility is a pretty decent legacy....with or without a league club. |

Still not much more than a village though. They get loads of investment anyway. Not like Swindon, which has loads of people, but virtually no investment at all (yes Im bitter).

Correct me if Im wrong, but I guess he means 10 years ago when Griggs was piling the money into Rushden and we were limping from one crisis to another? |
