A 42 year old Kettering man has been arrested and bailed over the racial abuse allegations from their match with Lincoln. Yeovil expect Luke Rodgers to agree a deal today after finalising a deal with Port Vale. They will pay his full wages over the course of the loan deal before a permanent deal in January.
Port Vale lost £383,738 over the course of last season despite selling striker Akpo Sodje for £250,000. Total debt is now £3.9million, and another loss is expected this season. Grays' match with Carlisle last night was abandoned after 20 minutes due to floodlight failure. It is the second time in a week that the lights have gone out on a game hosted by Grays, with a Setanta Shield match last week failing to start after the power went. Carlisle will provide free travel to the re-arranged game.
Ex-Bull Chris Weale has been stopped from going on loan to Rotherham as Bristol City would not be able to recall him unless both their other keepers were injured. Swindon will find out in the New Year if Bath rugby club will be sharing with them while they complete a two year refurbishment of their own ground. The Robins plan to add corporate boxes to the ground if the share is confirmed.
Torquay have announced that defender Chris Todd is battling Leukaemia. He was diagnosed after a blood test earlier in the week as doctors tried to find out why he was taking so long to recover from a stomach injury received in September. Peterboro striker Liam Hatch, on loan at Darlington, did not break his neck as first feared in last night's match, while keeper Joe Lewis, stretchered off during England's u-21 match, only suffered heavy bruising to his ankle. The Posh have signed Gillingham midfielder Andrew Crofts on loan with a view to a permanent January deal.
