Cheltenham have signed Bath City utility man Sido Jombati for a nominal fee. The Portugese 24 year old has signed a one year deal after starting every Conference match for Bath last season. Northampton chairman Dennis Cardoza says the club is going to have a much smaller squad this season with a top three finish the aim.
Swindon have offered Namibian trialist Oliver Risser a contract, while they will also trial Estonian international defender Taijo Teniste during their current Italian training camp trip. Plymouth's takeover has been further delayed, with Administrator Brendan Guilfoyle having to deny that the bidders are having trouble funding the deal.
Rushden have issued a statement saying the club was insolvent and could not continue after talks with potential investors failed. It will be placed into receivership with co-owner Steve Beasant intending to issue a full statement later. Kettering's Supporters Trust has issued a statement saying they will not be starting a phoenix club when the Poppies move to Nene Park. Despite a vote at a meeting voting in favour of the move they acknowledge only a quarter of their membership voted on the night.
Hartlepool have told fans they will pay only £150 for their season tickets this season. They were due to drop to £200 once they passed the 3,000 sales mark but are still 100 short of that number. Bradford bidder Steve Parkin has backed off a deal after failing to reach agreement with co-chairmen Mark Lawn and Julian Rhodes. Parkin now says he is concentrating on other business before looking at the Bantams again.
Stockport are reported to have parted company with manager Ray Mathias ahead of an afternoon press conference from bidder Tony Evans. Rumours that Stephen Vaughan is part of the bid have surfaced. Southend's summer cost cutting has seen them go as far as withdrawing a free season ticket to an 83 year old fan that was promised free tickets for life 12 years ago.
