News Round Up

Bury have warned that the wrong sides being promoted from League Two could see them lose £100,000. The Shakers could lose two lucrative derby matches against Stockport and Rochdale with the six figure sum being lost if both go up. MK Dons can equal a 61 year old record with their 18th away win of the season at Bradford on Saturday.

Mansfield fans are up in arms after all the seats allocated to them for the crunch match at Dagenham were held back by the club for their guests. Stags fans have also complained that the announced ticketing policy for the game will see only season ticket holders get in to the all-ticket match with the 1,200 allocation being offered two apiece to over a thousand season ticket holders.

An announcement on Rotherham's future is now expected next week. A decision on a preferred bidder was due this week, but up to five bids have been received and need to be reviewed fully. Notts County have again reduced admission for home fans to £5 as part of the Football League sanctioned 'local promotion'.

Chesterfield are to release six players after failing to make the play-offs. Former Cardiff man Kevin Cooper heads the list, made up of fringe players. Five more are to be offered new deals with seven under contract, while recent signing Bruce Dyer is yet to be decided on. Stockport have been given more space at Barnet after selling out their initial allocation. Reports suggest 1,200 tickets have already been sold.

Huddersfield have named veteran boss Stan Ternent as their new manager. The 61 year old leaves his post as Derby assistant after just five months. Swindon are to release three including Andy Nicholas. The 24 year old left side defender was an integral part of their promotion side last season but has been out of favour recently.

Leeds could fail in the 15 point tribunal because of leaking key details of the hearing. A five page letter by Chief Exec Shaun Harvey to all Football League clubs broke confidentiality clauses. Bristol Rovers are to play some pre-season games at their Memorial Ground home before it is demolished. Further delays in starting work mean the ground will still be in place in early August.
