Alfreton are to launch a fan consultation to discuss the way forward. The Reds have cut admission prices to £12 from £18 for their forthcoming game with Braintree to see if it can improve gates, but say they need to get at least 1,000 fans in to meet their usual take - and preferably 1,500 to show the discounted price is the way forward. A club statement says that by reverting to part-time status this season has brought better quality players to the club.

Chelmsford have parted company with manager Dean Holdsworth after just six month. The former Aldershot boss says he is leaving due to the club's cost cutting measures, with the club just a point above the relegation zone. Gateshead boss Gary Mills has been named Manager of the Month for October. Cambridge keeper Chris Maxwell won the player award.

Former Accrington MD Rob Heys says he was paid just £500 a week by the club. Heys was banned for 21 months for several hundred infringements of betting laws, with him losing around £2,000 in total over several years. Worcester's Supporters Trust is to present plans to build the club a new ground in the Perdiswell area of the city for the club. The proposals will see the club transformed into a fan-owned side.

Kidderminster chairman Mark Serrell has denied suggestions that the club is in financial danger, leading them to accept Forest Green's request to speak to Steve Burr in order to bank the compensation fee. Forest Green say they are not yet ready to make an appointment of a new manager. Along with Steve Burr, Terry Brown was at their game on Saturday while the Plymouth press report that Paul Sturrock is to also be interviewed.
