The game between Rushden & Diamonds and Barrow in the (Conference) Premier on Saturday, 30th October 2010 at 15:00 takes centre stage for FootyMad's preview analysis.

Rushden & D. prepare to entertain Barrow at Nene Park on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Diamonds.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Nene Park was less than a year ago, in January 2010, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a (Conference) Premier match.
