News Round-Up


Southend recorded their lowest home league attendance in eight years with 4,150 coming through the gate on Tuesday night. The Shrimpers remain under a transfer embargo with the local press noting that the wage bill was paid late this month. Manager Paul Sturrock has just 15 fit players at his disposal for this coming weekend including player-coach Graham Coughlin, who hasn't started a match in over 12 months, and youth teamer Alex Woodyard, who has just 45 minutes of first team experience.

Walsall have announced a profit of £10,000 for last season, continuing their long standing results of announcing small profits or losses. The club recorded turnover of just over £5million, down by £350,000, and paid out £2.4million in wages to 112 staff, while it owes £2.6million in loans from directors. Nuneaton striker Kyle Perry has jarred his knee after slipping over in a local supermarket. He is one of a number of injury worries for the Boro ahead of the Bulls' trip to face them next Tuesday.

Wycombe are to offer £5 admission to fans on Saturday in a bid to reclaim lost supporters. The Chairboys have seen their average attendance drop by 1,000 from last season. They will also extend the offer to visitors Torquay after complaints that Gulls fans would have had to pay the full £22 charge. Wrexham have had loan striker Andy Bishop recalled by Bury. The 29 year old scored twice in four games for the Dragons after his belated debut due to waiting for international clearance.

Lincoln have signed full back Peter Gilbert on non-contract terms. The 29 year old former Northampton man was released by Southend in the summer after two years at Roots Hall. Alfreton have signed defender Ross Killock on loan from Leeds for an initial month. The 18 year old signed his first professional contract in the summer and is yet to make his senior debut.
