Of course, AFC R&D are being backed by that couple that won £148 million on the Euro Lottery! ;D

I've been told by a good source that one defender is getting £200. No reason to lie, I kinda like Diamonds. Why would a St Neots player drop 2 or 3 levels? Lots of money? If you have money, use it.

[bozzer]

i am sure it's at least that per minute!

I would suggest that as an ex-RDFC player nearing the end of his career and the fact that he's supported our new club since it's formation, including attending the first meeting in July 2011, that he believes in what the club is hoping to achieve. No secret that Chris could have got a better deal elsewhere but sometimes it's not just about the money.

You're right, it is more than the money. I imagine he does have a place for Diamonds in his heart (not that much though as he'd play for nothing). My thoughts, not that they're important, are that Diamonds before spent lots of money building a team. Eventually it went POP!
It seems that it could be happening again. I don't get why they they don't build a club gradually, develop loyalty, avoid a rapid turnover of players. Build a club not a team, be patient, just because you make lots of money, you don't have to spend it.
As far Adie Mann, kind of ironic that he got good money everywhere he went and HIS Diamonds did exactly what YOUR Diamonds are doing yet, he doesn't like it.
I'm glad Diamonds are playing in our league and we're playing them 4 times. I'm not envious at all. I wish them good luck. Like I said, with their money, they shouldn't need it.

You'd think as a fan owned and run club that having witnessed the club we love go pop we might, despite lots of conjecture and rumour mongering, actually be taking a frugal approach to this season. Our primary focus is on building for the future, securing our own ground and being self-sufficient. We all as members of the club have access to the accounts and take regular votes on the things that matter, including where money gets spent, and none of us will be repeating the mistakes of the past anytime soon.

Like I said, I wish you good luck. It was good listening to the chants and cheers at Whitworths. You out sung our 10 fans.

I can't understand all the talk about our money. Any money we have accrued on the last 12 months has been raised by the fans and obtained by commercial hard work. No money has been injected by any financial backer such as enjoyed by Long Buckby last season.
What we have that, I guess, sets us apart from the majority of clubs in the UCL is a good fan base as evidenced by the 784 that attended today's match.
We all want progression, but the stated aim of our club, is it must be sustainable so we will not mortgage any possible success on the field at the risk of long term financial sustainability.
