You know what, I didn't even know they'd gone bust. When was that?

 

[Melvin Udal]

That worked out well

Northern monkees

Same here, I thought they'd just dropped a few leagues. But they were owned by the Dr Martins bloke.

Founded in 1992 (merger of Rushden Town and Irthlinborough Diamonds), and bust in 2011.

Two promotions in 4 years saw them into the Conference. Five seasons in the Conference, then they went up to the Football League. At that stage I felt a bit envious as we had Kumar, and they had the Dr Martins bloke.

They got to League 1 as well.

Does the club still exist?

Does the club still exist?

Reformed. A bit surprised because Rushden and Diamonds was a merger of two clubs, and you'd expect the fans to set up two different clubs. But they are reformed with the same name as far as I can see.

Anyone want to guess where this is?

That far stand looks like the old Dolman Stand at the Wurzel inbreds.

I'd guess this photo was taken before a Wales game, looks like a huge crowd.

Sincil Bank - Lincoln City.

Harry Redknapp's first game as manager of Bournemouth was here. Final Score

Lincoln 9 - 0 Bournemouth. Half-time it was 1-0. Pitch was frozen, and Lincoln came out second half wearing Astro Boots. A reporter asked Redknapp if he was disappointed "I am, a bit, yes. Their 7th goal looked offside to me".

Fleetwood's old ground. No D on the edge of the area back then.
