Bradford have had to abandon plans to move to a new training facility at Leeds University after the university 'moved the goalposts' on the times the club could use the Weetwood pitches. Barnet have signed released Watford full back Jordan Parkes. The former Accrington loanee played for England at u18, u19, and u20.
Bury have named former Hartlepool forward Richie Barker as their new head of youth. The 35 year old finished his playing career with Rotherham last summer and spent last season as schoolboy co-ordinator with Scunthorpe. The Shakers are also targeting an increase in attendances of 500 this term. They are also trialling former winger Simon Whaley, who spent last season on loan at a trio of League Two sides from Norwich. He was signed by Bulls boss Simon Davey for Barnsley on loan in 2008.
Fixtures for the Conference were released today. Darlington will open against Newport, while Grimsby get to travel to the delightful Crawley Town. Wycombe have promised their fans they will continue to play attacking football this season. Millwall have denied making a £500,000 bid for Gillingham striker Simeon Jackson. They have confirmed previously sending a scout to check the player out.
Lincoln have handed ex-Bull Gavin McCallum the no.9 shirt for the coming season. They already have 20 players signed up for the new season, one of the few sides to be close to complete. Ex-Bull Darren Randolph has signed a three year deal with Motherwell. He joins Jennison Myrie-Williams at the SPL side.
Gillingham have announced a new shirt sponsorship deal with a vending machine company. The one year deal comes only a few days before replica shirts are due on sale, with their previous backers pulling out at the end of last season.
