Garry Hill admits inconsistent home form is becoming a concern for Rushden & Diamonds.
They have recorded two wins, two draws and two defeats so far this
season at Nene Park with more points being picked up on the road.

Diamonds missed out on a chance to climb up to third place in the Blue Square Premier when they needed a late equaliser from Leon Knight
in the televised game against Altrincham on Monday.

That disappointing draw – in front of the lowest home attendance this term – came after a tough run of home games with Ebbsfleet United,
Wrexham, Histon, Crawley Town and Burton Albion.

Alan Marriott's only clean sheet at Nene Park came in the opening match against the FA Carlsberg Trophy holders.

Diamonds boss Hill conceded: "We are finding it hard to play at home.
"Our supporters are trying to pick the team up at times throughout the games.

"It's not the case that they are failing to get behind the players.
"But it's been difficult to break down teams.

"Last season we would have got beaten in a game like that against Altrincham. We had to dig out a point."

Meanwhile Diamonds have re-signed Dale Roberts from Nottingham
Forest on a one-month loan after 19 appearances last season.

The goalkeeper will provide extra cover if needed following an injury to Marriott which prevented him taking goal-kicks in the second half against Altrincham.

Roberts will be back in the Diamonds squad as they go for a third successive away win with Saturday's derby date at Oxford United.
Tickets for away fans are cheaper if bought in advance through the
Nene Park ticket office until 3pm tomorrow.

The club received 200 tickets from the U's to sell at a reduced rate of £15 for adults, £11.50 for students, £9 for over-65s and under-16s or free for under-7s.

Matchday admission to the Kassam Stadium will cost £17, £13 or £10.
Diamonds have also been given an allocation of wheelchair spaces for disabled people and their carers.

The ticket office is open from 10am to 5pm or call 01933 652936.
The supporters' coach leaves the Lightstrung at 12.15pm and Nene Park 15 minutes later.

Bookings at £11 per seat can be made on 07914 301594 between 10am and 10pm.
