Rushden & Diamonds FC, in association with the Diamonds Study Centre, are pleased to announce their involvement in 'Supporter to Reporter'. A national project which is a new way for young people to become sports reporters, get behind the scenes at local and national sports events and get involved in creating a new youth sports reporting channel.

The project is being trialled in Manchester at Lancashire Cricket Club, in London at Tottenham Hotspur and Leyton Orient FC and in Northamptonshire at Rushden & Diamonds FC, Northampton Town FC, Northampton Saints RUFC and Northamptonshire County Cricket Club. The project was launched at FA Headquarters in Soho Square, is funded through the Football Foundation and is run at the "Playing for Success" Study Centres by the media company Radiowaves.

The Diamonds Study Centre is being used to train twelve Year 9 students, drawn from both Ferrers Specialist Arts College and Latimer Arts College, over four days in the Easter Holidays and will involve both a visit to the London Television Centre and the opportunity for the youngsters to report on the build up and the actual Blue Square Premier match between the Diamonds and the Poppies on the Saturday.

The Study Centre has purposely selected schools from both the Rushden and Kettering areas of the county in order that fans from both clubs can be interviewed by the young people on the match day itself.
