if this is true  then how the hell can they attract fans at this level?

They have an all seated ground (well if you dont disobey the rules and stand up).

Our price is £15, they charge £17.

R&D are higher up the league than us, have a nice bar (restaurant as well I think), large car park facilities etc?

Seems a reasonable price to me.

The last time I went there was I think the season before last on a bitterly cold Saturday afternoon, I think we lost 1-0.
I recall the argument with the stewards who after about half an hour tried making us sit down - and it was too cold for that.
I recall a steward pointing out the irrelevant fact that Millwall had been there. He wasnt amused when we pointed out that Millwall are a League Club - Rushden are a Conference South club!!!
If my memory is correct, Rushden is not all seater as behind one goal is all terraced - for Home Fans only.
IF they have a big Car Park then I missed it, as I had to walk about a mile from where we parked.

The next time you go you'll wonder how you missed the car park!

The stewards were a lot more relaxed with us last year when we won 1-0...we were allowed to stand at the back.  We were on the dugout side this time though.

I don't see the issue with £17.  Things get more expensive each year, its life.

No one can justify paying 15+ quid for a non league game

The car park is huge!!

I remember that game. Horribly cold afternoon. If I remember rightly one of the stewards was threatening to call the police, unless we sat down?
