Shrewsbury have dropped midfielder Dave Edwards from their play-off final squad, apparently over his decision to move elsewhere in the summer with manager Gary Peters questioning his commitment to the Shrewsbury cause.

Harry Donaghey, the Bulls work experience signing from Portsmouth in early 2006 who appeared for one days training, has signed for Tamworth in the Conference North. Exeter have agreed to sell full back Billy Jones to Crewe.

Mansfield have been told that they will not be able to start the new season if the council imposed restrictions on Field Mill are not lifted. The safety committee slashed the capacity of the ground by half, dropping it below the required 5,000 capacity for League football, following stewarding problems at the last home game of the season.

The England National Game XI beat Ireland 5-0 in their first Four Nations tournament game, with ex-Bulls Scott Tynan and John Grant on the bench. Wales, managed by Tony Pennock, beat Scotland 1-0. Bradford want Halifax assistant Wayne Jacobs as the new no.2 to Stuart McCall. Jacobs spent ten years as a player at Valley Parade, but Halifax are demanding compensation for his services. The club are also asking for £250,000 for 38 year old striker Dean Windass after confidently predicting that he would score 30 goals in League Two this coming season.

Boston have sent letters to ten office staff telling them to stay at home, with chairman Jim Rodwell saying that it was 'morally wrong' to expect the staff to continue working after three months without pay and no resolution to the problems in sight.
