Stockport's creditors have accepted their 1p/£ CVA offer, but only 82% voted in favour. After slinging mud at each other a week ago the prospective owners and current landlords appear to have come to terms on a new lease for the ground and are praising each other now. Southampton's Administrator has issued a statement saying he will not be closing the club after funds for wages were found by selling players. He is in advanced talks with one of four late bidders for the club, one of which involves serial club hunter John Batchelor.
Accrington have failed to sign Stockport striker Matty McNeil due to wage demands. Ex-Bull Michael Rose's move from the Hatters to Hartlepool has failed due to a last minute hitch. Lincoln are likely to be put off signing Peterboro striker Rene Howe after they were quoted £150,000 for the transfer listed player. Shrewsbury have confirmed receiving a bid from Blackpool for out of contract winger Chris Humphrey.
While the Bulls have a near-complete squad, Aldershot have just two signed up when they play their first pre-season match today. Ex-Bull Marcus Palmer has agreed a new contract with Forest Green. Ex-Bull Ben Smith played the first 45 minutes of Cheltenham's friendly 2-2 draw with Bishop's Cleeve today.
Two ex-Bulls were playing in Terry Skiverton's testimonial at Yeovil today. Adrian Foster played for Skiverton's select XI, while Gavin Williams featured for the 02/03 Conference side.
