A tad disappointed we'll miss you when we finally look like going up (2 games, need 4 points officially, however with a far better GD than teams around us, and two home games against teams with nothing to play for, we could be all but celebrating promotion on Tuesday night) I also weirdly hope...

I imagine one or two individuals on this forums would have described him as a "top bloke" if he'd been playing for their club, and will now deride him because he didn't. Overall I wonder how much of this kind of thing goes on in non-league football as a whole. If it wasn't for the high profile...

It is ridiculous that Thurrock's resignation will lead to the best losing playoff finalist going up. It means that a game will be played where one team (the best placed of all the finalists) will actually be playing to prevent a team getting promoted. While this isn't dissimilar to some end of...

Glad to see you guys make it to Hayden Road, I saw the write up you did, which was very nice to read. There really are some amazing wonderful people behind the scenes, including both Jon and John that you spoke to, and of course chairman Ralph among many others.

It's a hassle in a number of ways though. It's closer to the weekend, which isn't great, there is a less even spread for training through the week, which isn't great, fans have just come off of the weekend and traditionally I would assume people are less willing to spend money to go out on a...

Not been on here for a while, since I've been gone we had a good run of form, we looked more or less odds on to win the league, and now we're in free fall and look like we are due to lose top spot, and maybe even fall out of the automatic and down in to the playoffs. It's very tight at the top...

I may be wrong but it was my understanding that trademark law in this country worked on a rather informal basis until there is a need to make it formal. As such it would then be my understanding that unless the company owned the football club at the time they tried to trademark the names...

Huge game for Diamonds and the shape of the South East division tomorrow, as AFCR&D host 3rd placed AFC Dunstable. We'll be without suspended Luke Fairlamb, but otherwise a the healthiest squad we've had for a while. Jack Ashton seems to be back to full fitness, and will make his 100th...

Tough month ahead for Diamonds. I've gone in to depth for the games for anyone interested - it could just read like a random list of place names to some on here! Sat 3rd - AFC Dunstable - Home - Loss I'm feeling pessimistic. We're on a 15 (league) game unbeaten run. Local rag ran a story about...

Jan 6th - Marlow (H) - Draw 0-0 - League Jan 9th - Hitchin (H) - Lost 0-0 (pens) - league cup Jan 13th - Fleet Town (A) - Won 4-0 - League Jan 16th - Aylesbury FC (A) - Won 4-0 - League Jan 27th - Moneyfields (A) - Won 3-1 League 10/12 in the league. Decent month but a couple of postponements...

Since the last update Diamonds have gone on to get two 4-0 wins away, at Fleet Town on Saturday then at Aylsebury FC on Tuesday night. No distance from the chasing teams though as it's been wins all around. Dusntable didn't have a midweek game this week as many of the rest played catch-up, so...

Diamonds update - 9 match winning run ended on Saturday with a 0-0 draw at home to Marlow. A little disappointing but it had to end at some point, still 10 feels like a milestone we failed to reach. I guess we can think about the unbeaten run from now on. Or to be more specific the unbeaten run...

I'm pretty impressed by the way we've finished the year. We've had a couple of postponements that would have been nice to get played, but at the end of the day when you win all the games you do play then you can't complain too much! 2 games in hand on most. Some playing on Saturday, while some...

We're half way through our league campaign finally, and while it was initially disappointing in a few areas, particularly cups, we have more than made up for it. 8 game winning streak now, 2pts clear at the top with 2 games in hand on most (n.b. only 5 pts clear of Beaconsfield who have played...

2-0 against 9 men. Might seem a bit odd, but their goalkeeper got sent off for stopping a lob well outside the area at 0-0, so I guess we would have broken through then, but it took much longer. Tom Lorraine got both our goals, the latter after Ayesbury United were reduced to 9 for a second...

I think that's rather unfair on Nabs to be honest. He's played conference level football with the old R&DFC in the past. He's played step 2 in the past, he's technically good, got good pace and is capable of becoming a good striker at step 2 potentially. It may take some time and some...

Well this game has got a whole load more interesting, and by that I mean a lot more dangerous for us - Aylesbury United have sacked their manager, they'll clearly be looking for a bounce against us on Wednesday.

Hmm tag on this didn't seem to notify me, but I was vaguely aware. Yeah he's based in MK, so it's probably partially a commute thing, not heard anything from our end that there may have been a bust up involved. Nabs is a relatively humble guy for a footballer, not someone you expect to have too...

Big end to a big week for Diamonds running out 2-0 winners over 10 man Hartley Wintney. This result was huge as they cannot currently catch us by winning their games in hand. We were helped by the sending off before scoring 2 late goals to win the game, before that it sounded an even contest, if...
