Rushden EXPELLED from the BSC

[Ernest]

They were an up and coming club once with plenty of cash, what happened ?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Max Briggs got bored / ran out of cash.

 

[Falkor]

this happened about 3 weeks ago

 

[Ernest]

Just been on SSN that they withdrew their appeal so are FINNISH

 

[Scotty Mac]

this happened about 3 weeks ago

they were awaiting an appeal hearing

I know nothing of what's happened there in the past few years, but their decline has coincided with (nearby) MK Dons being franchised. Presumably local non-league clubs lost support when a league club appeared as if by magic?

dont think it was anything to do with a lack of support as they've never really attracted that many fans - just their main backer pulling out and some horrific mismanagement by the owners since. a village football club wont survive at that higher level without someone funding it, and once griggs sold up they didnt have that anymore

Are likely to be accepted by the Southern League

Maybe the potless pillock should get involved

It is also likely that they will enter into some sort of ground sharing agreement with Kettering, who aren't far off becoming homeless, so a possible income stream that may help their finances a little.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Very sad, but is great news in the short term for me as my 2nd team is Southport .

It is sad, they were far from being the worst side in the Conference last year, pity their finances were in such a state.

It won't be a ground share. The ground will be Kettering's. We will be bust, but we've known this for a while now.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

If Kettering move into R&D's stadium will they be known as Kettering Franchise Club ?

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

The time I went to the away game on 30/9/03 and walked around the ground passed the main entrance hall it was full of marble and chandeliers.

 

[BadFish]

Maybe we should we wary with our chairman throwing cash around like there is no tomorrow.

go away

 

[Sussex Nomad]

This is really sad news, feel gutted for their supporters.

BBC Sport - Rushden & Diamonds enter administration

On the flipside, were they far from being the worst side because they were spending money they did not have?

Is he?
