News Round-Up


Ebbsfleet goalkeeper Preston Edwards says the club's staff haven't received all their wages for March. The MyFC owners are down to a membership of just 950 from their 32,000 start. Manager Liam Daish says some of his players are on wages higher than some League One players. Supporters Direct spokesman Kevin Rye called the club's takeover offer from agent Carlos Kabir Karani was 'one of the worst takeover proposals I have ever seen'. Torquay are to give every fan that travels to their game at Morecambe £5 in a bid to increase support in their fight against relegation. A spokesman says they'd offer more if they could afford it.

Bury's board has been blasted by their players over the handling of their cash crisis. Midfielder David Worrall claims they only found out about the trouble by reading the club's website. Luton beat Ebbsfleet 2-0 in last night's only Conference game. Recent signing Alex Wall scored both goals, his first for the Hatters, with the Fleet ending the game with ten men. The Hatters move up to ninth, and can still overtake the Bulls on goal difference.

Leyton Orient are to give away free season tickets to 1,500 youngsters and students in a bid to increase supporter numbers. The club lost more than £1.4million last season, largely down to the legal costs of battling West Ham over the Olympic stadium. Darren Peacock's application for the manager's job at Lancaster City has been backed by a glowing reference from Kevin Keegan, who was his manager at Newcastle. Keegan calls the former defender one of the best professionals he had ever worked with. 

Worcester are reported to have sold only 40 of their £100 season tickets for next season's groundshare at Kidderminster. They need to sell 500 minimum to be even remotely viable next season, but are aiming for 1500.   Braintree manager Alan Devonshire has agreed a new deal for next season. The former West Ham midfielder has led the part-timers to two mid-table Conference finishes since taking over from Rod Stringer shortly after their promotion.

Luton have transfer listed four players as they rebuild for next season, taking the total number axed to ten. Defenders Simon Ainge, Lathaniel Rowe-Turner, keeper Dean Brill, and striker Scott Rendell have all been told they can leave despite having contracts for next season. The Hatters have also released season ticket prices for next term, holding them at this season's prices. The cheapest Adult season ticket is £270 in their early-bird deal. 

Bulls dugout sponsors Eurocams have been named as the new home shirt sponsors at Bristol Rovers after winning a sponsors' draw for the prize. The company owner is a Pirates fan.
