News Round-Up


Barnet say player Andy Yiadom has been fined £1,000 and warned as to his future conduct by the FA after breaching FA betting rules. The Bees say the 22 year old's transgression was a 'minor incident' and had no relation to the club. Aberystwyth Town have announced plans to demolish their main stand and replace it with a larger capacity stand, 3G facilities, and 80 flats. The flats will be run by a local housing association, who will pay for the 3G pitch to be replaced every 10 years.

Nuneaton expect to have a bigger home crowd than Coventry after Luton fans bought as many tickets for Saturday's game than the Sky Blues had at Northampton in midweek. The League One side recorded a gate of just 1,603, with the Hatters fans expected to fill their 2,200 allocation of tickets for the Liberty Way clash.

Braintree chairman Lee Harding says the bad weather has cost their club £50,000. He told the local press that director loans were currently holding the club stable but further postponements could put them in deep trouble. Macclesfield have signed striker Akpo Sodje on loan from Tranmere. The 33 year old brother of assistant boss Efe remains on bail under match-fixing allegations, and hasn't featured for Tranmere since being arrested.

Welling have signed winger Basile Karagiannis on a short term deal. The Congo-born Greek spent last season with French fourth tier side Chambly. Cambridge winger Harrison Dunk will miss the majority of the remainder of the season after damaging knee ligaments during their loss to Alfreton. The 23 year old has made 29 appearances this term.

Tamworth have signed two new strikers with Scunthorpe forward Matt Godden and Coventry's Courtney Baker-Richardson joining on loan. Godden has signed for a month after netting nine times in 19 Conference games for Dartford and Ebbsfleet on loan in the past year. Teenager Baker-Richardson has joined on a youth loan with the Lambs paying no part of his wages.
