Wrexham have been installed as joint 11/2 favourites for the Conference alongside Stevenage. Mansfield are rated fourth favourites behind Torquay, while both play-off finalists are currently available at 18/1. Huddersfield have appointed former Rochdale boss Mick Docherty as a coach.
The FA have dropped some of the charges in the ongoing Luton case. The club, some former directors, and a number of agents were all charged over irregular payments but the charges to the six agent for failing to disclose all payments have now been dropped, leaving each agent facing a single charge. Colchester have signed defender Matt Heath in a permanent deal from Leeds after a loan spell.

There is, however, space in the Unibond Division One following restructuring. Rushden are shaping up for a title tilt with bids for top Conference strikers Lee Phillips and Daryl Clare.

The protracted takeover move will now buy the club's assets from the Administrators before creating a new club that will fall foul of the same rules that saw Leeds docked the penalty.
