What can you do help the team who has everything, new ground, rich owner. Well no rich owner now, as Rushden& Diamonds are up for sale. TFH takes the micheal, but seriously, no one wants to see a rival in trouble, but Diamonds should be ok in any case. DIAMONDS APPEAL
Following the shock announcement that Uncle Max is withdrawing his money at his creation, R&D FC there has been an appeal set up to help the staff, players and fans of Rushden & Diamonds.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
DONATIONS
With money now tight, any donations are very welcome. Please send in secure, perfumed boxes, to the Diamond Centre, Griggs Way, Irthlingborough.
FOODSTUFFS
Please do not send any old food, the staff are not used to normal products, please only send the below items:
Smoked Salmon, Caviar, Champagne (vintage only please), Pimms, Oysters, Swans etc. If sending general grocery please send only Marks And Spencer’s own products(please enclose receipt ).
CLOTHING
Please send any of the below items
Barbour Jackets, Bodywarmers, Shooting Jackets, Smoking Jackets, green corded trousers. NB No shoes required, believe us, we’ve got plenty.
VEHICLES
If anyone has a spare land rover, that would be useful too.
FINANCIAL
If anyone out their wants to buy Max out please feel free. All are welcome, whether it be a private individual or another local club. (please note private individuals must either change name by deed poll to Griggs or marry into the Griggs family). Any other local clubs are welcome, we are quite happy to change to Rushden, Diamonds, Raunds, Higham Ferrers Old Boys reserves, Burton Latimar Rural College 2nds and Wimbledon MK FC.
POLITICAL
R&D accept that the best thing for us is if Max stays. However, due to poor shoe sales, he’s not making enough money. Please all Diamonds fans, please vote BNP and then skinheads will start buying the boots again. If anyone out there can create a punk revival, that would help too.
FINACIAL DONATIONS
Please forward as much as you can.

£500 would pay for Brian Talbot to have a massage for an hour.
£1000 would pay for one of directors wives to visit a health spa.
