Cheltenham have blamed last night's floodlight failure on two seperate failures of floodlight equipment that caused a small fire. They say the game will be replayed, with ticket holders entitled to half price admission to the rearranged match. Stockport have signed West Brom's teenage keeper Ryan Allsop on work experience. The 18 year old will act as no.2 stopper with high earner Owain fon Williams farmed out on loan.
Sheff Weds' takeover has collapsed with one of the major backers pulling out. With a court date to meet the taxman in two weeks, several major shareholders including the Wednesdayite fans group have offered to surrender their shareholdings for free to anyone willing to save the club. Bury keeper Cameron Belford will need surgery on his facial injury. Parts of his cheekbone will be removed and a metal plate inserted.
Wycombe's new stadium plans have been branded 'unacceptable' by the local civic society. They say the plans would have a massive impact on local residents and blight the landscape. Gillingham's stadium had grafitti daubed on it overnight calling for chairman Paul Scally and manager Andy Hessenthaler to quit after the Gills lost at home to Wycombe to leave them just two points clear of the relegation zone.
Kidderminster's new owner says the club was 24 hours away from folding over a £90,000 bill from the taxman, saying that the bill was paid thanks to two anonymous donations. Southend have seen loan midfielder Michael Timlin recalled by parent club Swindon due to an injury crisis of their own. The 25 year old was due to stay at Roots Hall for another two weeks.
