Crewe announced plans at their AGM last night to split into two. An umbrella company will be set up to seperate the club and their Gresty Road stadium to make funding easier to come by to develop the ground, with a view to putting flats into a new stand similar to that done by Leyton Orient. They revealed that this summer's £2.2million sale of Nicky Maynard had already been spent by former boss Steve Holland and covering existing debts, while they are chasing £99,000 through the Spanish courts following the Administration of Real Sociedad.
Chester have issued a rallying call to their supporters for this weekend's home match with fellow strugglers Grimsby. The Mariners have laid on free coaches to the match and expect to bring 1,200 - with some Chester fans believing they will be outnumbered. Meanwhile Grimsby boss Mike Newell has served court papers on Luton claiming he is owed £300,000 from his time as manager there.
Mansfield boss David Holdsworth has urged ex-Bull Alex Jeannin to go out on loan as he will not be offered a new deal in the summer. Jeannin has been on the transfer list since January and has not been able to force his way back into the first team picture. Weymouth's plight is rapidly becoming a farce after the BBC's Inside Out programme claimed that investor Stephen Beer gave the club a cheque that had been altered using Tippex.
Walsall have ejected 47 supporters this season for smoking in the ground, with one setting off the fire alarm system during the match. They have introduced smoking areas outside the ground, utilizing a pass system. Leicester have signed Hull goalkeeper Tony Warner on loan after fellow loan keeper David Stockdale was injured in midweek.
Hartlepool fans are questioning whether the club will be able to compete at the same level next season with owners IOR, an Oil company, suggested to be under financial pressures due to the credit crunch. Leeds have finally confirmed the loan signing of Derby forward Liam Dickinson. Crewe have resigned loan defender Marlon Broomes until the end of the season.
Rochdale are considering legal action after a Bradford fansite suggested they had under-reported the gate of Tuesday's match between the sides.
