We Are Back

Hey guys and girls. Sorry I have been away so long, I am looking to revive this blog, it's not been possible to dedicate time to it recently but I'm hoping all that has now passed. As you will notice, this blog needs some serious updating with regards to the teams now within the Blue Square Bet Premier, and obviously I then have all future transfer rumours that I need to be monitoring and then posting. Busy times ahead but ones I'm looking forward to. I apologise again for the huge break in service from the blog, here is to a bright future ahead.

Neil Wainwright

Two Blue Square Premier sides are chasing former Darlington and Morecambe winger Neil Wainwright.

Wainwright was released from Morecambe this summer and is thought to be in discussions with both Barrow and Gateshead. Gateshead appears to have the edge currently mainly due to location although Wainwright has been based in the North West for the past couple of years so Barrow cannot be written off as a potential destination.

The player is due to go away on holiday soon, so any deal either needs to be wrapped up quickly or will have to wait until he returns.

Mansfield Town Sign Two From Eastwood

Mansfield Town have officially announced today that they have signed Lee Stevenson and Lindon Meikle from Eastwood Town.

Both players worked for new Mansfield Town boss Paul Cox during his time at Eastwood and they were keen to join him at Field Mill. Stevenson has penned a 2 year contract, Meikle a 1 year deal, both players were under contract at Eastwood and have signed for undisclosed fees.

Meanwhile Paul Cox has delayed making a decision on the out of contract players at the club until later in the week, he wanted to sit down with each of them before deciding their fates.

Alfreton Town Release Five Players

Alfreton Town have released their retained list for the coming season. This means that there are some players that will be leaving the Impact Arena, the players that are not being offered new deals are Paul Lister, Darren Stride, Chris Hall, Ian Ross and Lawrie Wilson.

Two other players have left the club following expiry of their loan periods, they are Aden Flint and Daryl Clare who return to Swindon Town and Cambridge United respectively.

AFC Telford United Expected To Sign Defender

Blue Square Premier side AFC Telford United are expected to be close to clinching the signing of former Mansfield Town player Mark Preece. Preece spent a short spell on loan at Telford during the last campaign and it is known that manager Andy Sinton is an admirer of the strong central defender.

It is thought that a deal could be concluded by the end of this week.

Fleetwood Town To Sign York City's Till

Fleetwood Town will sign fellow Blue Square Premier side York City's midfielder Peter Till once his contract runs out this summer.

He will sign a two year deal at Highbury and was sdaid to be very pleased to be joining a club with such clear ambition to get into the Football League.

This comes as yet another clear sign of Fleetwood's ambition to really launch an onslaught at the Blue Square Premier title this coming season.

Braintree Town Appoint Manager

Braintree Town are pleased to announce the appointment of their new First Team Manager. Joining the Club with immediate effect is Alan Devonshire, who will be co-ordinating the Club's first foray into the National game.
