News Round-Up


There are no Bulls in the first England 'C' team of the season. Paul Fairclough has picked Ebbsfleet keeper Preston Edwards, who helped keep the score down at Edgar Street on Saturday, in the 16 man u23 squad that will face Belgium on September 12th. Chesterfield have sacked manager John Sheridan after failure to win any of their opening League Two matches. The former Sheff Weds man was stuck by in the summer after seeing the Spireites drop out of League One.

Lincoln have ended the non-contract stays of winger Luke Daley and striker Marc McCammon. Daley started four of their opening five matches, coming on as a sub in the other, while McCammon started one and also made a sub appearance. Nuneaton chairman Ian Neale has quit the club to concentrate on his personal business interests. Current director Neil Hodgson takes over on a temporary basis.

Chester say they will study video evidence in the hope of identifying culprits after a number of their fans were involved in fighting in their Bank Holiday away match at Altrincham. Two people, including a steward, were hopsitalised overnight after being injured during a series of incidents in and around the ground. Ambitious Gainsborough have been put up for sale after chairman Peter Swann said he was withdrawing from the club at the end of the season due to ill health. The Conf North side have spent heavily in recent seasons and will not be able to afford the wage bill without another benefactor.

Former Port Vale bidder Mike Newton says he is not one of the parties interested in bidding for the club. The US-based businessman has invested in Stockport and Oldham since having a bid rejected by the former regime, but says he has no plans to move for the club. Wrexham have rejected an approach from Bury for manager Andy Morrell. The veteran striker had a spell with the Shakers before arriving at the Racecourse Ground, and is said to want former teammate Andy Bishop to join him at the Dragons.

Luton will not appeal the red card handed to defender Ronnie Henry during Monday's fractious match with Telford. Henry will serve a three match ban after exchanging handbags with ex-Bull Dan Preston, leaving the Hatters short at the back with Janos Kovacs struggling with injury.
