Ha, I'm sure that's an error of the system they use to collect scores to report on them ASAP, club secretaries text them in (it's the responsibility of the home side, but I believe the away side is meant to too) - I'm guessing the Wellingborough secretary is using an old school phone and pressed...

Wellingborough Town 0 - 4 AFCR&D I couldn't go so I had to follow on twitter, but I'm pretty pleased with that. We missed a penalty, rarely seemed threatened, and got the job done early enough to make some changes for minutes rather than tactics. No mentions of knocks too, so presuming that...

I doubt Tamplin would call the police. He'd have some awkward questions to answer. Mostly things like "Why is this trophy cabinet empty? Did they steal the contents?"

This season we should see what difference this kind of thing really makes. We've moved from the edge of one town over in to the centre of Rushden. We'll have to wait until half way through the season to see the changes, but I suspect it will be adding a good amount to our regular attendances, as...

Can you address any of my concerns about what this petition is actually trying to achieve? What is it trying to get the council to do? What is the specific outcome Braintree want/need? I hope Braintree manage to get a fair and suitable solution of some kind.

OK I was expecting an official squad update from us before the start of the season, but it looks like we won't get anything new. Two latest signings (Punter and Bell-Toxtle) were written about in the local rag with quotes from Peaks, but not announced on the OS. Perhaps the club were expecting...

Big news from Diamonds today is that Hayden Road has been graded up to standard, meaning that all our home games will now take place in Rushden. Absolutely delighted with that, it must have been a monumental effort by volunteers in order to get this all done in time. This means that Hanwell...

So many aspects to this that are so stupid, both the fact that it's scripted, and that everyone knows that lions don't even live in jungles (though I suspect Tamplin may have a tenuous relationship with the truth as a whole) By far my favourite part of it is that he thinks this is awesome. He's...

What about the other players signed up? Do you have an expected starting XI for the first game? We only finished preseason games on Friday, I expect at least one of the trialists to be signed up, possibly more, suggesting we're going to have a signings announcement at some point next week -...

Diamonds will indeed return to Wellingborough Town in the FA Cup now, after they beat Fakenham 2-0. Elsewhere interesting results include Rugby Town beating Coventry United 2-1 despite playing with 10 men for 70 mins. If anywhere takes bets on step 5 leagues I'd say they're probably good money...

No game for Diamonds today, last friendly last night, so an eye on the FA Cup today for me. Fakenham vs Wellingborough the most interesting due to being our opponents in the next round, but a fair few games involving UCL teams that are of interest. Will also be interesting to see how Rugby do...

Nothing like a good petition with clear aims... Is the petition about relocating the club or about preventing the development infringing on their current existence? Do they just want to protect just the away turnstile access, or do they want to protect their training grounds etc? Or are they...

Another friendly result from last night - Diamonds 4 - 2 Winslow United We got to grips with the use of Hillgrounds as a home venue for the first time, going 2-0 up and then being pegged back to 2-2. Dillon then came on as a sub and scored 2, to make it 5 in the last 2 games and round out the...

Not sure if they showed a game last season, or which one, but the year before they showed Margate vs FGR. I mostly remember because we caught some of it in the bar before the game at Barwell. From memory I think the clubs only got about £4,000 for being on TV for that - which seems scandalous...

In the final 2 clubs get a total of £2.7M In the extra preliminary round 170 clubs get £1,500 - a total of £2,550,000 In reality it's not that bad actually. For the level it's a sensible amount. It could always be more, and I would like it to be more for the positive effects it can have on...

BT Sport have previously been showing one in the 4th qualifying round most years. There will now (presumably) be 2 games televised at that stage.

BBC are planning to broadcast online a game in every round. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40770123 Mixed thoughts on this personally, it'll be good to have the BBC shining a light on the different teams and making more people realise that the cup really does start much earlier etc, but...

Paul Bastock has signed on for the season with Corby Town. He's 47!
