Further to yesterday's news, the Conference have issued a statement on Chester. They have called a meeting of clubs to vote on Chester's expulsion from the league for failing to fulfil two fixtures against Forest Green and Wrexham. The club admitted guilt on all five charges placed before them, with the meeting and vote date still to be determined.
Torquay have signed Swindon winger Lloyd Macklin on a months loan. The 18 year old has a string of sub appearances for the Robins this term, and two starts. The Gulls are also claimed to be interested in signing Notts County's former Bulls loanee Ade Akinbiyi. The veteran forward is currently fourth choice striker for the cash strapped Magpies. Darlington are to cut season ticket prices next season regardless of whether they stay up or not.
Stockport's fans have called off a protest march against former owner Brian Kennedy, after bidder Jim Melrose told them he wasn't the reason for the ongoinging failure of his bid. Melrose has agreed a two year deal with Kennedy for the use of Edgeley Park, but the club plan to leave the ground after. Given that information, the Football League's refusal to sanction the sale is probably down to the uncertainty over the ground after two years.
Northwich have been fined by the Conference for defaulting on payments to their football creditors. They have been fined £2,500, and will be deducted ten points and fined a further £7,500 if they do not pay all football creditors by the end of March. Chesterfield have signed winger Simon Whaley on a deal until the end of the season. He was released by Norwich in January after loan spells with Bradford and Rochdale.
Notts County striker Luke Rodgers has been fined £4,000 after admitting affray and running from Police after being arrested during a bar fight in September. Ebbsfleet need at least 2,500 of 4,200 MyFC subscribers to renew when their subscriptions expire at the end of this week. Boss Liam Daish told a fans forum his entire squad is out of contract at the end of the season.
