FA broker promotion deal
The Football Association has reportedly brokered a deal between the Football League and Conference to increase the promotion places to two from next season.
A Conference item reads: "The Nationwide Conference welcomes the recent action by the Football Association in arranging for the long awaited increase in promotion places to the Football League. The granting of the extra promotion place is scheduled for the start of the 2002/03 season and will create an opportunity to introduce the added value of play-offs."
However, it is thought that there is an unresolved point over 'parachute payments' for the second relegated team from Division Three. Once that is resolved, the proposal should go to the Football League AGM in June for ratification.

Bulls sign ex-Owl
Hereford United have made another loan signing in time for tomorrow night's match against Chester City, with Doncaster Rovers defender Dean Barrick joining the Bulls until the end of the season.
Barrick is an ex-Sheffield Wednesday trainee who had spells with Rotherham United, Cambridge United, Bury and Preston North End. He spent a spell in Scotland on loan at Ayr United and sustained a bad groin injury, and joined Doncaster in February 2001. He has since signed a two year contract, keeping the 32 year old at Belle Vue until summer 2003. During his Football League spell, Barrick was a favourite at left back who likes to get forward.
Chester City are expected to name an unchanged side for the match, and club secretary Michael Beech told the BBC: "Every game is another challenge. We're on a good run and have been undefeated since the beginning of January so our confidence is reasonably high."

Hereford stop the rot - Hereford United gained a vital single goal victory at Dover this afternoon to ease their relegation fears The Bulls were without Matt Clarke suspended and Matt Baker, ankle injury; so Stuart Jones continued in goal and Jimmy Quiggin returned to mid field with John Shirley and Scott Goodwin filling the full back positions. Gavin Williams and Rob Elms led the attack. The first half was one of missed chances. Elms hit the side netting, and both Paul Parry and Gavin Williams smashing headers over. In the second half Elms should have done better when he shot wide after a Scott Goodwin cross. United goal keeper Jones had a better game than last Tuesday saving several Dover attempts. With 10 minutes to go substitute Steve Pierce picked up a loose ball on 25 yards, which he lobbed over the Dover keeper to give Hereford the lead. Hereford move one place up the table after todays result.

Turner slams players after poor run
Hereford United chairman Graham Turner has publicly slammed his players after they slipped towards the Nationwide Conference relegation zone.
Turner, who now plays a part in the team management, said: "If the players don’t recognise the dangers, they shouldn’t be playing football. We’ve got to sort it out quickly."
The Bulls have lost their last four matches and this Saturday go to bottom of the table Dover Athletic knowing a win is vital to keep them up.
Dover Athletic, under the new management of Clive Walker, will be without attacker Matt Carruthers on-loan Leon Kelly, who are both banned, for the match. Dover are also in poor form, having lost seven of their last eight matches.

Baker out for Farnborough game?
Hereford United have a doubt over the fitness of goalkeeper Matt Baker for tonight's game at Farnborough Town, kick off 7.45pm.
The 'keeper has an ankle injury and Lee Evans is on standby to take over should he fail to make the game. However, Phil Robinson should return after a calf injury and Ian Wright, Matt Clarke and Scott Goodwin are all fit again.
"We were looking forward to playing at the weekend but obviously couldn't because of the situation but one advantage has been that it has allowed players with a few niggles a bit of extra time to recover," said Robinson in tonight's Evening News.
"After two league defeats we need to get back to winning ways and we will be looking to do that tonight. Farnborough are a strong side with good players like Gary Patterson, captain of the non-league international team, and they play attacking football which will make it tough for us."

Bulls wait on fitness of Baker and Parry
Hereford United hope to have two crucial players fit for tomorrow's Nationwide Conference clash at Farnborough Town, kick off 7.45pm.

Game off due to structural damage
Hereford United's home game today against Dagenham & Redbridge was postponed due to structural damage at Edgar Street.
Part of the roof of the Meadow End terrace was ripped off by the strong winds, and this cut off the electricity supply to the ground. The game could not have been played even if the Meadow End had been closed as a lack of a public address system is not allowed by the Health & Safety Executive.
Both police and the HSE were called to the ground before a final decision was made at around 1pm, with several Dagenham fans and the Essex team having reached the ground.
A full report from today's HUISA meeting will be online soon.
