Prior to last night's matches, Burton announced a second signing of the day with midfielder Matt Harriott joining from Sheff Utd for an initial month. The 19 year old debuted in last night's loss at Port Vale. Port Vale will enter Administration on Friday.

Cheltenham have announced plans to build a new 3,000 capactity stand at Whaddon Road. The move comes after the club abandoned plans to move to the nearby racecourse.
