Rushden and Diamonds have now raised £50,000 in their bid to save the Northamptonshire club. They are trying to raise £250,000 to stave off the threat of liquidation when two winding-up petitions are heard next month. It looks as if there were be a clearer view of what is likely to happen within the next week. If Diamonds do go under, the money will be used to start a phoenix club.

I am going to give a donation myself. I used to regard Rushden as my second club and even sponsored the match ball on a couple of occasions. However, since Leamington was re-formed, I have become increasingly involved in helping out there.
I know that there is a view that R & D are a plastic club and it would have been better if Rushden Town had stayed as it was. The club can be criticised for not living within their means in the past. However, they have acquired a loyal following in the years they have been in existence.
