News Round-Up

Shrewsbury have banned two fans for the remainder of 2012 after they encroached onto the pitch during Tuesday night's evacuation. The Shrews also say repair work on the damaged floodlight equipment has been completed and today's match with Aldershot will go ahead as planned. Morecambe have cut prices for their home match with Port Vale to £10, and £1 for under 16's, in a bid to combat falling gates at the Globe Arena.

Crawley say they will defend Kyle McFadzean against the FA charge for his part in Tuesday's mass brawl. The defender was charged with violent conduct after the FA reviewed video evidence. Plymouth's Supporters Trust is to start a campaign calling on fans to use the local businesses that lost out when the club went under. It was revealed earlier in the week that the businesses received only a fraction of their debts.

A seventh interested party has held talks with Port Vale Administrator Bob Young, who says he will consult the local council, the club's main creditor, before picking the preferred bidder. Derby have reported losses of £7.6million for last season. Turnover slumped by nearly £12million after they lost their Premier League parachute payment. Their accounts say the club owners have put £28million into the black hole since taking over in 2008.

Kettering's plans to have today's game sponsored by a bookie have been scrapped after they were warned they would breach Conference rules on ambush marketing after a complaint from the league's sponsor. A statement from Blue Square says they warned the club when it was first announced but rivals Betfair still opted to promote the event for a week before pulling the plug.
