News Round Up

Chesterfield have released veteran defender Rob Page by mutual consent. The 36 year old has played only twice this season and now intends to seek a coaching role elsewhere. Bradford temporary boss Peter Jackson has brought in Colin Cooper to act as his no.2. The former England international was last assistant to Gareth Southgate at Middlesboro in 2009.

Darlington chairman Raj Singh says he will guarantee to continue funding the club if fans buy 2,000 adult season tickets for next season. It is believed they sold less than half that figure this season. Rushden are reported to be under a transfer embargo after being late with a payment to the taxman. They were also unable to pay the players' wages on time last week, but say they will have resolved both matters by the end of this week.

Stafford Rangers are to cut their wage bill for a second time this season after gates slumped further. The Conf North side had been averaging 500 through the doors, but managed just 260 for last night's 4-0 loss after a 5-0 home loss on Saturday.
