Depends on the outcome I suppose. On the face of it sounds like a genuine offer but then again Northampton will be the beneficiaries

That is a bit of a p*ss take if you ask me. Rushden haven't folded, so I think loyal Rushden fans will regard that as a major insult! AGREED And if I were a Northampton fan I'd be a bit embarrassed that my club had made such an offer

It sounds like Kettering are close to moving into Nene Park, apparently the majority of fans have voted in favour of the move.
Madness.

So who actually owns the ground? Are Kettering buying it?

Rushden have been provisionally accepted into the Southern League, pending the winding up order.

If you look at the article, I think the N'ton fans will find it a p*ss take too, no extra cost for the Diamonds fans yet their ST's are £300-£330 yet N'tons apparantely cost £350+ so they are actually paying less to get in. By the way, those prices are a joke full stop though, bloody rip off!

My ST cost £199 - renewing in April...offer of ST for £250 at Sixfields until end of June...so where's the 'bloody rip off' there??? BTW, R&D are no more..with no Phoenix club in the pipelines...Few Cobblers fans are embarrased..why would we be? Genius PR by NTFC..before MK jumped in basically. Just 65 R&D STs were sold...doubt if any hardcore are likely to move over..but the goodwill gesture is there..free season tkt for the only League club in Northamptonshire!

Good coverage in the NLP today. Says that it was costing £1,000 per day just to keep the stadium running, which was why it had to be sold. They had just about got the club to breaking even before selling on.

Kettering moving to Nene park now and Rushden fans on about starting a pheonix club, although with nothing able to be done for this season cant see that working out, what little fans they have got will probably drift away.

With respect, I don't think there are enough Rushden fans to make a decent phoenix club.
It just shows how fickle football can be. 14 months ago Kurt Robinson was calling out Beano before the semi final, now Rushden are consigned to football's dustbin.

Rushden have no players, no manager, very few remaining fans and no ground to play in and face a winding up order in a couple of weeks yet they are appealing against being kicked out? They should have no chance except thats its the conference they are appealing to so they will probably be kicking off in the blue square premier come August before folding a week later!

I doubt their appeal will be successful even in the conf because of the reasons you mention. There is no way they could hope to fulfil their fixtures with no players, manager or ground and only a month or so to organise all three before the first ball is kicked. Its a shame, but if the club could have been saved I think they would not have been expelled in the first place.

Bang on there. I still have hopes that Rushden will survive in the conference. They still have three weeks and as once said a week is a long time in politics. How many clubs have actually disappeared from the conference? If I recall rightly Colne Dynamos from conference north closed down after being denied promotion

Everyone has a right to appeal. Rushden has an investment plan with proven funding. Everyone has a right to appeal. But I'd have thought the appeal would have been better served coming before they were formally expelled. The longer it takes the greater chance of the club being dead (which by all accounts it already is) by the time it happens. I hope you don't see me as the navvy basingstoke. It always seems to me I'm the one falling into the holes others have dug.

Think R+D are a good club and with a guaranteed jap investment if they are in BSP next season, cant see why they expelled them except some clubs in mid-top fear them.

Maybe true, we know how cliquey the conf can be. I just think that since they have been expelled its going to be too hard for them to come back from the brink. There's also obviously been some serious mismanagement going on there, so i suppose your view of the situation depends to a degree on whether you think they should be allowed to get away with that or not. Its a shame really since I always enjoyed the games against our pseudo-rivals.

You cant expect the conference to base their decisions on some money that might be coming in, they have to look at what the sitation is now and that is Rushden virtually insolvent. The jap investment sounds a load of bollocks anyway, why would they have not saved the club before all this went to far if they were serious? Cant say I am too bothered about a 19 year old club who were a rich mans toy ceasing to exist, they couldnt even get enough fans in to cover the cost of running a small ground like nene park so their wasnt exactly a large passionate fanbase behind them. Most of their fans will just watch Kettering if that move goes through.
