Darlington are on the verge of promotion in their first season after reformation, but the Northern Football League is in danger of descending into farce. Second place Spennymoor can still catch the phoenix club, with eight games in hand to make up 23 points, but the league have decreed they must complete their season by May 5th to be eligible for promotion. They are already scheduled to play five games after that date - the league's original finish date - with one game, against Dunston, set to be called off as the Dunston squad have booked a group holiday to Spain.
Chester's board have recommended raising ticket prices following their promotion to the Conference. The Trust-owned club plan to charge £259 for a terrace season ticket, and raise matchday prices from £12 to £14, if members vote in favour of the proposal. They sold 517 season ticket for the current season, and aim to sell 750 for the coming term. Conf North side Gainsborough say their playing budget next season will be just 20% of the current campaign with chairman Peter Swann walking away from the club.
Barnet midfielder Barry Fuller will miss their next game after having his two match ban, for being sent off after the final whistle of their game with Dagenham, extended to four games. The Bees have revealed that he missed Tuesday's loss to Torquay for that reason. Woking have announced that Joe McNerney, Aaron Howe, and Lee Sawyer have signed contracts for next season.
Bury say talks are ongoing with 'very interested parties' over investment into the club. They hope to have a concrete deal in place within a week, with wages and tax liabilities due as well as the repayment of a PFA loan. Portsmouth hope to exit Administration tomorrow. The move is likely to see the Football League deduct a further 10 point penalty for next season.
Cambridge have reported season ticket sales of 300 already for next season. The cheapest Adult ticket on offer is £230. Meanwhile, manager Richard Money has told the BBC the club will not have a budget 'in the top half of the league' next season. Luton boss John Still cancelled his Tuesday scouting trip as the player in question was not going to play for his side. Still has denied interest in Ebbsfleet keeper Preston Edwards, a player he had briefly at Dagenham.
