Wrexham's Supporters Trust has refused to loan the club money after a vote last night. The club, owing £200,000 but having already secured £150,000, asked the Trust for £50,000 but offered no guarantees on repayment. Club chairman Geoff Moss says the club will not be allowed into the Conference play-offs if they do not clear their winding up order, but this is yet to be confirmed by Conference officials.
Bradford have scrapped their annual player awards night as the club does not feel there is anything to celebrate from the season. Supporters will organise their own end-of-season unofficial bash instead. The Football Supporters Federation are backing a Man City fan that was banned from the club for three games after allegedly being caught smoking in the club's ground. Alex Blood, a semi-professional footballer, denies ever having smoked and has offered to undergo medical tests to prove his innocence.
Gillingham have unexpectedly had midfielder Mark Bentley returned from his loan spell at Cambridge after the struggling Conference side mucked up the paperwork to extend his loan. The U's are just four points clear of the Conference relegation zone. Notts County have dispensed with the services of Chief Scout and former Caretaker Boss Carl Heggs, their head massuer, and their conditioning coach as part of a clear out by new manager Martin Allen.
Plymouth's Administrator is to send out letters to creditors today to gather them for a CVA vote on May 6th. The CVA offer to unsecured creditors is likely to be 1p/£, cutting £13million of debt to just £130,000. Even if the vote is passed, with 75% of creditors needing to agree, it is likely that no takeover will be complete before mid-June. Fundraising for the staff hardship fund continues with the Green Taveners reporting that some staff are now facing eviction from their rented homes, having not been paid since January.
Barnet have reported Notts County to the Football League, claiming an illegal approach for departed boss Martin Allen. Meanwhile loan defender John Dunleavy will not play again this season after the Wolves teenager damaged ligaments in training. The Bees have also parted company with goalkeeper Roy Carroll. Eastwood have been barred from entering the Conf North play-offs after having their appeal rejected. The club were only told a couple of weeks ago their ground was not up to scratch and were given no time to rectify it.
Grimsby will cut their playing budget by £200,000 next season, and will have to pay out any contract settlements out of the remaining budget. They have told three contracted players they are no longer needed. One of them was only signed in January on a three year deal. Southend have added former Millwall chairman Stewart Till to their board ahead of their AGM on Tuesday night.
