Stockport have dropped prices for their final home game of the season with their Conference status still in the balance. They will more than halve ticket prices from a maximum of £18 to just £8 for adults for their game with Dartford on April 13th. Newport boss Justin Edinburgh is serving a two game touchline ban for comments made to the referee after their recent game with Tamworth.

Welsh Premier bosses have apologised after failing to send any match officials to a rearranged league game yesterday. The match, between Carmarthen and Airbus, had to be abandoned because the league had failed to tell match officials of the new date. Cambridge Director of Football Jez George completed a 42 hour 100 mile walk from Cambridge to Lincoln in time for yesterday's match between the sides, raising £26,000 for the club in the process.

A Kidderminster fan was stabbed as fans coaches departed Luton after yesterday's match at Kenilworth Road. The incident occurred when 'local residents' attacked a coach. Two Harriers fans were taken to hospital and four locals, reported to be not associated with the Hatters, were arrested. Nuneaton have passed their ground inspection after finishing improvements to their stadium in time. Amongst the work needed was two new turnstiles and paving around their main stand.

Fourteen sides have been granted licenses to operate in the Welsh Premier next season. The league handed approval to 10 of the 12 current teams and four vying for promotion, with Llanelli's financial problems barring them and Connah's Quay bid rejected due to a lack of information, but they are expected to be passed on appeal.
