The race for ex-Bull Stuart Fleetwood hots up again. The News of the World is reporting interest from Charlton with both Gillingham and Cheltenham lodging increased bids this week. Robins boss Keith Downing admits he's likely to lose out: "I sat there (at Forest Green Rovers) with about eight other scouts and, no disrespect to Cheltenham, some of them were from much bigger clubs."
Another of the Football League 'partner' sponsors is coming to Hereford. Wickes, the home improvement chain, are taking over the Focus DIY store on Widemarsh Street. Wickes are the official home improvement partner of the FL and mainly focus their links on the Championship, but could be a candidate to replace the city departing Floors 2 Go as a major sponsor of the Bulls.
