The row over Accrington's postponed match with Brentford at the weekend is escalating. Stanley have refuted the Bees' claims, adding that the person who inspected the pitch at 10am on the day of the match was appointed by the Football League. Brentford have lodged an official complaint to the League.
Mansfield will board up their condemned Bishop Street stand rather than have the eyesore on national TV at the weekend. The BBC decline to place their cameras there on safety grounds, leaving the abandoned wreck visible to millions for their FA Cup match with Middlesboro. Cambridge United chairman Lee Power has resigned. No reason has been given.
