News Round-Up

Wrexham have confirmed they have cleared their £200,000 tax bill. They will face Luton in the Conference play-offs, with AFC Wimbledon facing Fleetwood Town. Lincoln have booked up seven free coaches to take fans to their crunch relegation match with Oxford. Just over 350 fans have taken up the offer of free travel as the Imps look to end a run of just one point from eight matches.

500 Port Vale fans are expected to march to the stadium in a mock funeral tomorrow. Staffordshire Police have taken the unusual step of posting on the One Vale Fan forum asking for the organisers of the march to get in touch. Valiants director Graham Mudie has resigned this morning. Cheltenham striker Wesley Thomas has said he will speak to other clubs before deciding on his future. The 19 goal frontman would prefer a club closer to his London home.

Crewe are reported to have offered a two year deal to Port Vale defender Gareth Owen. The 28 year old central defender has also been offered a deal by the Valiants but is reported to be frustrated at the club's managerial situation. Swindon are reported to be considering former Bristol Rovers boss Paul Trollope for their vacant managerial post. Trollope's father played for the Robins for 20 years and also managed them.

Plymouth bidder Paul Buttivant has confirmed he has lodged a bid for the club, complete with the proof of funds missing from his previous offer. His offer is based on a commercial redevelopment of land surrounding Home Park. Notts County boss Martin Allen says he has already agreed to sign two new players for the club next season. While no contracts have been signed, Allen tells the BBC: "I've already got two verbal agreements and once they do verbal with me they don't normally back out."

Rushden have been docked five points for misreporting their financial details to the Conference last season. They have also been handed a suspended £2,000 fine. The Diamonds have asked club creditors to a meeting next Wednesday where the board will outline the club's financial situation after they were handed a winding up petition by a catering company.
