Welcome to our 3rd weekly update. It’s been another busy and challenging week across the Club.
The volunteers evening on Wednesday was a huge success and we’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone who attended and to those of you who weren’t able to attend but sent your thoughts and ideas to us ahead of the meeting. As you will imagine, there were a lot of duplicated ideas, ideas that have been considered before and, more importantly, brand new ideas that we can now action and take forward where we can. We’re in the process of putting together the working groups to start actioning these ideas. Look out for posters on display around the ground detailing which groups have been set up and how you can help – it’s not too late to get involved, please email us at support@afcdiamonds.com or speak to any of us at a game. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.
As you will all be aware, we had to pause voting in the election almost as soon as it had started following the withdrawal of one of the candidates. Voting is now open again and will close at midday on Tuesday, 22nd November. We are still experiencing problems with voting confirmation emails failing to those of you who have hotmail or gmail email addresses. Whilst we are confident that your vote has been registered, if you would like confirmation, please email Gemma on election@afc-diamonds.com who will be able to verify that it has been received.
The EGM on Wednesday, 23rd November will take place at Hayden Road from 7:00 pm and the business of the meeting will be to accept the result of the vote as per the notice issued on 5th November 2022.
Please remember that, for our match against Hitchin Town FC on Monday evening, entry is by ticket only and these must be purchased in advance, pay on the gate is not available. Tickets are available here:

Please also note in your diaries that the kick-off time for our next home match at Hayden Road v Alvechurch FC has been moved to 12:30 pm in order to avoid a clash with a potential World Cup match kicking off at 3:00 pm involving England or Wales.
The World Cup kicks off tomorrow and we were pleased to announce yesterday that The Hopmaster General and The Hopmaster: The Reserve have agreed to offer all AFC Rushden & Diamonds members a 10% discount on all food and drink orders from 1 hour before until 1 hour after all England games (they’re being shown live at both venues).
Finally, we wish all our teams across the Club good luck for their fixtures this weekend. Thank you all for your continued support and dedication to our Club.
