 ESPN.com Soccernet Column by Sean Smith: Rushden & Diamonds and their soul of shoes
Rushden and Diamonds will arrive at the league table in a far healthier state than any team since promotion to the league became automatic in 1987 (ground regulations permitting).
But the Diamonds' standing as the biggest club in non-league football was proved beyond all doubt when they managed to lure Carl Alford, star striker of the so-called bigger non-league fish in the community, Kettering Town, for a fee of £85,000.
By December, Rushden had already exited the FA Cup and after a 4-1 thrashing at Dover at the beginning of December the pressure was beginning to show.

However in 2002-03 a late run by Rushden married to a complete collapse in the run-in by Hartlepool saw them Champions, and it was on to Division Two.
Rushden were seemingly fairly comfortable in mid-table at the time, and maybe the calculation was made that they could afford to slash the playing staff and still retain their Division 2 status, though the financial situation was so dire they probably had no other option anyway.

 Rushden & Diamonds (home) : Nationwide Conference 13th November 1999
The goal brought Diamonds manager Brian Talbot down from the stand to the dug-out amidst a warm reception from the home crowd, something that was to be repeated throughout the game.
Rushden weren't out of it by any means though, with the pony-tailed Underwood making inroads down the left wing.
We felt that crossing was Rushden's main strength, so we forced them to play their wingbacks high up the field, so they couldn't get their crosses, and David Piper and Jamie Pitman did excellent jobs there.

Rushden hadn't got a clairvoyant running their site and it didn't take long for me to realise the match had been brought forward 24 hours, meaning that I had to make a hastily arranged trip to Cambridge's Abbey Stadium instead.
The baiting of the 2000 away fans by the Rushden followers, about the lack of noise from the Airwair Stand, seemed a little unfair as the QPR supporters had certainly been doing their bit to contribute to the atmosphere.
An early Rushden goal was cancelled out by two wonder strikes from former Preston hero Gareth Ainsworth, his first strike drawing generous applause from all sides of Nene Park.

Diamonds had obviously done their homework and tried to prevent the Dover midfield from getting into the match.
Rushden became more anxious as the half went on, they presurised the Dover defence but the Whites were equal to the challenge and withstood everything the unimaginative Diamonds could throw at them.
Rushden continued to throw everything at Dover in an attempt to take all three points but despite seven minutes of injury time they were unable to grab a second and in the end the draw was a fair result.

 Carlisle United 1-2 Rushden & Diamonds 19-04-2003
Carlisle’s twelfth home defeat of the season was not unexpected as Rushden and Diamonds, along with Hartlepool, have dominated the Third Division for most of the season.
But the Cumbrians will be disappointed not to have taken something from a game where the league leaders were less than convincing at times, but they did have that little extra quality where it mattered by burying the two clear cut chances they had in the game.
For all their neat approach play the Diamonds were causing few problems for the Carlisle defence but Stuart Gray and Stuart Wardley combined well to set up Dean Holdsworth only for the former Bolton man to shoot over the bar.

Our passes went astray, our few feeble attacks were easily cut off by the Rushden defence, and on the rare occasions when we got a ball into the penalty area, it didn't give young goalkeeper Lee Worgan much to worry about.
We didn't have the imagination to break Rushden down, and it looked as though my prediction of emerging from a struggle with three points would be at least two points out.

 Rushden & Diamonds (Away) : Nationwide Conference : 13th April 1999
Rushden came into this game knowing that defeat was not an option if they were to continue having a say in the title race, and they started the better of the two sides.
Just before half time Rushden did have a glimmer of a chance when Rigby came off his line for a ball that wasn't his, and ex-Yeovil player Miguel De Souza's header looped over the keeper, but Hannigan was covering intelligently and cleared a yard from the goal line with ease.
Malcolm Rigby came under increasing pressure from Rushden's numerous corners (I can't believe Matchfacts only counted four!) and with five minutes remaining Jim Rodwell rattled the crossbar, but largely Kevan Brown, Rigby and Hannigan were making light work of poor crosses.

The early exchanges were fairly even with Rushden's shooting woeful as their strikers appeared to want the goal to stretch from one corner flag to the other.
Firstly, Rushden's twin strikeforce of Sale and Darren Collins took us back to the fifties, both pretending to be Nat Lofthouse as they bundled Andy Harris into the back of the net with some force.
Watching a match at a stadium like Rushden's should be a very pleasant experience, but due to the uptight and over zealous nature of the Grant Mitchell wannabe stewards, I'm not sure many will have enjoyed it much.
