Grimsby's chairman and vice-chairman are to put £500,000 each into the club in a bid to get a first-time return to the Football League. The move means they plan to attack the Conference with a 'League level' budget and upgrade training facilities. The Conference are threatening to kick Northwich out over an interpretation of the rules. Conference rules say that a club leaving Administration must pay all it's debts by mid-May, claiming that Northwich's agreed 42p/£ CVA failed to meet that despite it being a legally binding plan.

Another former Chester chairman is in trouble. Ian Anderson, who took the chair last October, has been stopped from acting as a solicitor after he had his practice licence suspended by authorities. He was accused by fans of being a puppet for Vaughan.
