News Round Up

Cheltenham have sold naming rights to their stadium to a local firm. Their Whaddon Road ground will now be known as The Abbey Business Stadium for five years for a five figure sum. For reference, Accrington's naming rights were worth £15,000 a year, but the name sponsors put a total of £75,000 a season in for shirt sponsorship as well.

Peterboro chairman Darragh MacAnthony has had another whine about transfer fees, saying his side were quoted more for some players. The builder and flogger of foreign sheds reckons he was quoted £750,000 for Anthony Pilkington just before he moved from Stockport to Huddersfield for £450,000.

Millwall have denied making a bid for Stevenage striker Steve Morison. Bristol Rovers will sell Rickie Lambert 'for the right price'. Walsall have sold 16 year old striker Richard Peniket to Fulham for a five figure fee after he rejected a scholarship with the Saddlers. Chris Weale's goal against the Bulls is up for Sky's goal of the week award, against efforts from Barcelona, Arsenal, and Man Utd.

Notts County have announced a loss of £88,000 for last season. The club have acknowledged talking to potential investors to enable them to progress back up the League ladder. Darlington have confirmed that they will not use loan players Liam Hatch or Danny Carlton again as they cannot afford to pay them. Manager Dave Penney has also admitted that he may not be at the club next season after wages were deferred for a third sucessive month.
