The Brewers have signed Leicester defender Tom Parkes on a six month loan. The teenager had a trial at Crewe last week but they opted against signing him.

Goal-line technology has moved a step forward after Sepp Blatter backed moves to introduce a system. The International Football Association Board, which controls the laws of the game, will meet in March and will decide whether to implement a system. If they do, it could be in use by the start of the 2012/3 season. Former Bulls loanee Matthew Lund has signed a three month loan deal at Oldham. The Stoke trainee played twice for the Bulls last term.

The League Two play-off final last May was a financial disaster.

Plymouth have released their matchday prices. Adults will pay £20 admission, £15 for OAP's, and £7 for kids. They have withdrawn discounts on advance tickets.
