Grimsby have signed striker Barry Conlon on a two year deal. The former Bradford and Mansfield man scored five times in eight games in a loan spell as the Mariners escaped relegation. The Mariners have released midfielders Paul Bolland and James Hunt after contract talks broke down. Notts County have signed Barnet captain Neal Bishop. The midfielder, 27, has spent two years at Barnet and turned down a new deal to move to Meadow Lane.
Weymouth have named Team Bath management pair Matty Hale and Andy Tillson as their new management team. Hale was Tillson's assistant at Bath, but the pair have switched roles with Hale a former Terras player. Former Aston Villa striker Stefan Moore is turning out for Birmingham amateur league side Silhill's fourth team to keep fit after his Kidderminster deal ran out. He scored five times in two games.
Salisbury are in advanced talks with two serious bidders to take over the club. The England 'C' team lost 1-0 to Belgium at Rushden last night. Chester's local press report three seperate parties are speaking to their Administrator. Ex-Bull Wayne Brown may be on his way out of Bury after Peterboro goalkeeper Mark Tyler confirmed talks with the club where he had a loan spell while Brown was injured.
AFC Hornchurch have gone into Administration, less than five years after the original Hornchurch side went bust. They were the side that spent heavily under Garry Hill before both Hill and chairman Gary Calder took many of the squad to Weymouth and almost bankrupted them. Ex-Bulls Dean Smith and Andy Reece were part of a Walsall all-star team that played a charity match at the Bescot Stadium last night.
Andy Ferrell has confirmed to the local press that his move to York was down to Kidderminster's budget constraints: "With the financial situation at the club, the gaffer told me that he wouldn't stand in my way if I wanted to move on. They just wanted me off the wage bill. When I was told that, I didn’t want to stay and be a burden, as the gaffer reckoned he could maybe get a couple of players in for what I was earning - so it was best that we went our separate ways."
