Leeds will make the League One play-offs regardless of their tribunal outcome after beating Yeovil on Friday night. The result means that Brighton will remain a League One club next season after missing out on the play-offs. Darlington have agreed a fee with Fulham for goalkeeper David Stockdale. The former York man is expected to cost the Cottagers £350,000 in the summer plus clauses.
Mansfield boss Paul Holland will be wired up to a heart monitor during their crunch match with Rotherham. Rotherham themselves are expecting to complete the season despite threatened legal action from stadium owner Ken Booth. Their supporters trust is expected to cover the cost of any legal fight, leaving the club able to complete their final games.
Crawley boss Steve Evans has admitted he should have 'kept his mouth shut' after collecting five seperate FA charges this season. Rushden boss Gary Hill has slammed Conference chiefs for forcing his side to play eight games in sixteen days. An assortment of postponements, abandonments, and entry to the final of the tinpot Setanta Shield saw him field a side every two days.
Altrincham will only survive relegation from the Conference in tomorrow's live Setanta game if they win and Halifax lose their match. It would be the third successive time on the trot that the only profitable part-timers in the division have finished in the drop zone, but they were condemned/saved on the last two occasions by Conference shenanigans. More random tomfoolery is not expected this time round.
Cardiff have been blasted as having no relevance to Welsh football by power mad ex-FAW secretary Alun Evans after the FA rubber stamped their qualification credentials for Europe. It was Evans, and his masterplan of a Welsh Premier League and subsequence Welsh dominance over Europe, that put paid to the Bulls' own European chances after winning the Welsh Cup in 1990. Bluebirds chief Peter Ridsdale has said they will consider quitting the FAW for a total affiliation with the FA.
