The Rushden & Diamonds website contains several thousand articles and images, on around 1000 pages, so, to help you find what you are looking for, this guide details the various sections of the site, and what they contain.

There are eight tabs (Home, News, Match, Team, Tickets, Club, Fans, Commercial) you'll see above, that make up the local content that the Rushden & Diamonds webmaster and supporting volunteers maintain on the website. Each tab has a homepage, which is accessed by clicking on the tab name, and a menu, which is accessed by hovering your mouse over the tab name.

Home Page - this has the most recent and / or highest profile stories, but note that when they drop off the bottom of the homepage they will still be found elsewhere on the website, provided they haven't expired (i.e. are no longer relevant). Lower down the page are prompts to access a number of areas of the website, including a scrolling list of player picture thumbnails that link to their player profiles.

News Page - this is where you will find all the news stories, with an archive you can review on a week by week or page by page basis. The Events sub-page includes the Diamond Diary which is a list of upcoming events at Nene Park.

Match Pages - in this area you will find the latest match previews (in the pre-match section), the fixtures for 2009-10 plus the gallery of pictures from recent games. Match reports for Blue Square Premier games will appear in the reports section, but will also be accessible via a button on the right hand side of the fixture list. The club and league statistics will be updated once the season starts (these are managed by the Perform Group, who host a large number of Football Websites). The Fixture list also has a drop-down season selector allowing you to view fixtures and reports from the 2001-02 season onwards.

Team Pages - on these pages you will see the 2009-10 team photo (once available), and a player list. Each of the First Team squad has an updated profile for 2009-10. The latest news on the Youth section is here too, and those players also have profiles (updated Pen Pics and photos for the Youth Team are also in production). The Stats page has links to a number of pages managed by the club and its volunteers, including Historic Player Stats, League Results, Cup results and Historic Squad Lists.

Tickets Pages - on these pages you will find details of fixtures and ticket availability for home and away games, as well as a general guide to buying tickets, with details of ticket office opening.
