Woking have released keeper Sam Beasant by mutual consent. The former Glenn Hoddle Academy man has signed for Conf South side Billericay instead after not playing a first team game in nearly three months.

Attendances in the Welsh Premier are down 14% compared to the first half of last season. Boxing Day attendances were down 19% on last year's figures. Telford boss Andy Sinton has told the press the club have received an offer from another Conference side for striker Chris Sharp.

Forest Green have appealed for witnesses after a small group of Newport fans clashed with stewards inside the stadium during their Boxing Day match. Lincoln have put veteran keeper David Preece on contract until the end of the season.

Coventry are reported to have failed to meet a deadline of Boxing Day to pay the £1.1million in rent owed to the owners of the Ricoh Arena.
