News Round Up

Rotherham have already started selling tickets for their trip to Edgar Street on the last day of the season. The game is likely to be crucial for their promotion hopes with the Millers currently lying fourth in the table, two points short of an automatic promotion spot. Millers boss Ronnie Moore has criticised Notts County striker Lee Hughes after the player goaded fans during their match on Saturday.

Shrewsbury boss Paul Simpson has blasted his own fans after they criticised his team during their 2-0 loss to bottom club Darlington at the weekend: "It's diabolical that sane human beings come in with that sort of mentality." Barnet have loaned full back Ahmed Deen to Dover for the rest of the season. He has not played for the first team since Adam Lockwood arrived at the club on loan.

Referee Mark Halsey makes his return to League action after battling cancer tonight when he takes charge of Accrington's match with Barnet. Halsey, a former Spurs trainee goalkeeper, was a Barnet player in the early 1980's. Bournemouth are to sign Reading striker Andrew White on loan for the rest of the season. The deal was done before last week's deadline, but is yet to be ratified by the Football League as they had not agreed to lifting the embargo at the time.

Crewe will record 'significant losses' this season unless they sell players in the summer window. They have already indicated that budgets will be cut in the summer, and only previous player transfers have kept them in the black in recent seasons. Lincoln will host a benefit match for Keith Alexander's family on May 3rd. The game will see a team of Alexander's former players face an all-star side managed by Paul Ince and Barry Fry.

Bradford are to seek out new training facilities as part of the ongoing negotiations to secure Peter Taylor as their long term manager. The Bantams will also dig up the Valley Parade pitch after it was criticised by home and away players, but cannot afford the £500,000 cost of replacing the 1920's drainage system that is the root of their problems. Millwall have posted a trading statement saying they have a 'small reduction' in losses for this season so far. They lost £5.2million last season.

Lincoln have released 31 year old midfielder Stefan Oakes by mutual consent. Reported as the highest paid player at the club by the local press, Oakes has started less than half the games during his two year spell due to injuries. Cheltenham have loaned defender Kyle Haynes to Gloucester on work experience.

Bournemouth have confirmed that midfielder Mark Molesley will miss the rest of the season with the foot injury that has kept him out for five months. The Cherries are to rename their North Stand as the Steve Fletcher Stand for the next five years in recognition of the veteran striker's service to the club. Meanwhile their supporters trust has called the board's reaction to their donation scheme 'overreaction and scaremongering'.
