Matchday terrace admission will be £14. Gateshead have confirmed that manager Anth Smith will remain in charge of the club for the coming season. The former Sunderland man originally took charge to the end of the current campaign.

Stockport boss Ian Bogie says he current team 'would struggle to be in the top half' of Conf North next season. He is expecting a mass clearout when he meets the players later this week, with only a handful holding contracts for next term. Alfreton chairman Wayne Bradley says the club's wage bill will be cut by 25% in the move from full-time to part-time.
