Darlington are set to name Dean Windass as player-coach shortly. The veteran striker was officially released by Hull earlier in the week. The Quakers' potential owner Raj Singh has revealed that they will play at the Darlington Arena rent free for two years as part of the deal he has negotiated with ground owner George Houghton. Chester have announced an extension to their early bird season ticket sales despite the Administrator barring sales until a bidder is accepted.
Bournemouth will be on a restricted budget next season after owner Paul Baker revealed that they had already spent the money from the 800 season tickets they have already sold. Macclesfield have signed defender Carl Tremarco from Wrexham. The former Tranmere trainee had a spell on loan at Darlington last season.
Ebbsfleet fans have voted in favour of giving manager Liam Daish a new one year contract, and will now vote on a proposed £30,000 sale of midfielder Michael Gash to another Conference club. Grimsby hope to sign out of favour Leeds midfielder Peter Sweeney. The 24 year old hasn't played for their first team in 12 months.
Torquay are after a new physio after Damien Davey, son of former Bulls striker Steve, quit the club to concentrate on his private practice. Burton expect 46 year old keeper Kevin Poole to sign a new contract and play in the Football League next season. Garry Breen's Galway United lost their third straight match last night, 2-0 to Bohemians. He missed the last two matches through suspension after being sent off.
Brighton have missed out on a substantial payday over Gareth Barry's move to Man City. The Seagulls had the player in their youth system until Villa poached him with a tribunal giving a 15% sell-on clause, but they sold the clause to cover earlier debts missing out on a payday of at least £1.5million more than they received. Lincoln have signed released Rotherham striker Jamie Clarke on a one year deal. He joined Rotherham at the end of the January transfer window, scoring twice in 11 games, after bagging five in 17 for Accrington while on loan from Blackburn.
Darlington central defender Alan White is a target for Luton, who intend to spend their way out of the Conference at the first attempt. Peterboro pair Mark Tyler, also a target for Bury, and Liam Hatch also on their radar. Port Vale have confirmed a £1million playing budget for the coming season, which will put them as one of the biggest.
Accrington are hoping to use this summer's Football League payment to cover their outstanding tax demand. Minor shareholder Ilyas Khan, who is disliked by major shareholder Eric Whalley, has called a fans meeting to discuss the club's plight with his £250,000 share offer being ignored by Whalley. Fans may form a consortium, led by Khan, to buy the club.
