News Round-Up


Bury have signed a five year deal to use Manchester City's former Carrington training ground. The 22 acre site replaces their former Lower Gigg base, which housed one pitch. The financial details of the deal have not been revealed. Accrington recorded an attendance of just 919 for their win over Burton last night. It was their second sub-1000 gate of the season, having not had less than 1,100 last term, with their average attendance less than 1500.

Bristol Rovers moved to the top of the Conference with a 2-1 win over Braintree last night. Their rise to the summit has come on the back of a 19 game unbeaten run in the league, with former leaders Barnet having led the table for 178 days since September. Corby Town have complained to the East Midlands Ambulance Service after it took an ambulance nearly three hours to arrive at their ground to collect injured player Paul Malone, who had suffered a double leg break in a game at the weekend.

Hartlepool fans are to hold an open meeting to seek to form a Supporters Trust after the recent collapse of a proposed takeover of the club. The meeting will take place after this Saturday's home match with Wimbledon, with speakers from York and Darlington's successful Trusts. 

Lincoln fans are to crowdfund a huge mosaic of seats on one of their stands to commemorate the Dambusters and to try and refinance the club's huge loan. The Imps need to find a way to cover the £380,000 debt, with the Dambusters having been based near to Lincoln. The 5,681 seats on offer will go for between £50 and £250 to raise around £300,000 after costs.
