Football League referee Dean Mohareb has been arrested on suspicion of computer hacking. The 29 year old was removed from last night's Barnsley-Peterboro match after the arrest, which the Guardian claims is regarding the unauthorised access of the emails of a sacked FA employee who was accused of handing out tickets in exchange for flight upgrades. Mohareb reffed the Bulls in March at Morecambe and is the FA's national referee development manager.
Kettering recorded a record low gate of just 34 for their County Cup match last night. The attendance is the lowest for a senior match played by the Poppies either home or away. Truro's players have agreed to carry on playing until the Conference's deadline of October 11th after talks yesterday. They beat Bath City 2-1 last night but the home match was watched by a seasonal low of just 344 supporters, a fraction of the club's break-even figure.
Luton have opened negotiations with the local council over buying back Kenilworth Road. The Hatters sold the ground for £3.25million in 1989, paying a peppercorn rent since then. The club retains ambitions for a new ground. Wrexham keeper Joslain Mayebi has been called into the Cameroon squad for an African Cup of Nations qualifier. He will miss matches against Stockport and Lincoln as a result. Teenage summer signing Andy Coughlin will make his debut for the club in his place.
Accrington's home match with Rotherham last night was postponed just 10 minutes before kick-off after the referee decided that heavy rain had left the pitch unplayable. Elsewhere in League Two last night, Barnet attracted a crowd of just 1,483 as they lost at home to Exeter, their 10th game this season without a win, and Morecambe had just 1,285 for their win over Chesterfield.
Luton have extended the loan of Gillingham defender Connor Essam for a further month. The 20 year old has started two games for the Hatters, and made a further four appearances from the bench, since arriving at Kenilworth Road at the end of August. Mansfield keeper Alan Marriott has been told he may not need an operation on his dislocated shoulder, cutting recovery time down to two months.
