Bury have signed Irish u-21 pair Darren Randolph and Adam Rooney on loan for an initial month. Charlton keeper Randolph previously helped Accrington to the Conference title, while Stoke forward Rooney scored seven times for Chesterfield during the first half of the season. Rotherham defender Stephen Brogan will miss the rest of the season after a double fracture of the leg.
Leeds have issued a High Court writ against the Football League over their 15 point deduction. Wrexham and Peterboro are to be reported to the FA over a 20 man brawl during their match yesterday. Posh keeper Joe Lewis had to be subbed after what manager Darren Ferguson claims was a head-butt from Dragon's defender Steve Evans.
Northwich's takeover continues to provide some interesting statistics on the costs of Conference football. The new owners have worked hard to cut costs since arriving, including agreeing a settlement to Paul Tait's £600 a week part-time contract - and he wasn't the top earner!
