Rushden and Diamonds Supporters Limited Joint Press Release
Travel in style to Nene Park for the new season

Travel arrangements for home matches for the coming season have now been reviewed, the coaches run to Nene Park last season required over £3,000 worth of subsidy from the Supporters Trust. It has therefore been decided with the club that this season it will run one coach and one minibus on the existing Rushden, Higham Ferrers route, but will no longer be operating a coach on the Wellingborough via Finedon route.

As well as the excellent public bus service to Nene Park any fans requiring transport from Wellingborough or Finedon can contact the Trust Office, as alternative arrangements may be possible.

Further details of the Northamptonshire Stagecoach service from Wellingborough to Irthlingborough can be
found here.

The coaches leave Hayden Road at 1:45pm or 6:30pm depending on the kick off time, then pick up at Rushden Lightstrung, The Viking Public House, The Welcome Inn Public House, The Oakley Arms Public House, St Peters Church, The Toll Bar (Higham Ferrers) and Simpson Avenue (Higham Ferrers) before arriving at Nene Park, the coaches will then depart on the return journey 15 minutes after the final whistle.

The fare is a flat rate £4.00 return, however a new Coach Season Ticket is available to all Trust members from the club Ticket Office for all home Blue Square Premier, FA Cup, and FA trophy matches, which offers a substantial saving at only £90 (for a minimum of 26 matches). Full details are available by contacting the Ticket Office on 01933 652936.

It is hoped as many supporters as possible will do their bit to help the environment and avoid the traffic queues by using the coach service.

Warren Barber from the Supporters Trust Board said, “The new season looks like being another exciting part of our future development as we aim to return to league football. The Club’s new owner is continuing the rebuilding of our financial position, bringing in new players and old favourites! We now have new sponsors and together with our new caterers and dedicated fans we are all really looking forward to the first pre-season home game against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday 18th July at 7:30pm.
