News Round-Up


Barrow say the racism claims laid against one of their players followed a fracas in the tunnel after their loss to Macclesfield. Referee Phil Gibbs needed Police assistance to seperate the two teams afterwards, with the Bluebirds stating that Gibbs witnessed punches being thrown between the sides. They add that the claim about abuse of defender Ryan Jackson 'was down to the area of his origin'.

Worcester fans have been quizzed on their views of the club's proposed temporary move to Kidderminster. 95% of around 700 who responded want the club to offer £100 season tickets for next season. Newport director Howard Greenhaf says the club will not be placed into a bidding war despite the wealth of chairman Les Scadding.

Morecambe boss Jim Bentley has told the press they will be unlikely to make any further additions to their squad in the January window, and are still in negotiations with Crawley over Richard Brodie. Brodie's loan ends tomorrow. Lincoln boss David Holdsworth is to seek out a midfielder in the transfer window after having skipper Gary Mills ruled out for six weeks with a knee injury. Defender Peter Gilbert will also miss a similar time with a groin problem.

Grimsby have agreed an extension of the loan of winger Marcus Marshall from Bury until the end of the season. The 23 year old has made eight Conference appearances since debuting at the start of November. Former Bull Tamika Mkandawire has ended his loan spell at Southend and returned to Millwall. He played 11 times during the loan spell after a knee operation kept him out for a year, and will discuss a new deal with his current contract expiring in the summer.

Farnboro are offering directorships at the club for £25,000 each in a bid to get funding into the struggling side. Eight directors would be appointed, holding 100% of the club between them, putting up £10,000 each up front and a further £15,000 over the next 18 months.
