News Round-Up


Former Bulls trialist and current Newport striker Chris Zebroski has been jailed for four years and four months after admitting four charges of robbery, attempted robbery and assault relating to two separate incidents. The 28 year old had been on bail for the last five weeks after being involved in a drunken brawl and a previous road rage incident.

Cheltenham's Supporters Trust has voted to put the £220,000 bequest left by a fan into the club. The Trust will receive one seat on the club's board after club chairman Paul Baker warned that a no vote would potentially see the current board quit. 77% of just over 100 voters were in favour of handing the full sum over.

Braintree have announced that manager Alan Devonshire will leave them with immediate effect after he rejected a new contract with the club in favour of speaking to other clubs over a potential deal. The former West Ham man spent four years with the club, taking them to sixth place last season but this term they are 15th in the table.

Shrewsbury have reported a loss of £285,000 for the 13/14 season. The figure means they have lost £650,000 in the last two seasons combined and have already admitted to losing at least another £200,000 this term. Chairman Roland Wycherley says cash reserves at the club are around the £1million mark and that losses cannot continue. Gates at the club have dropped further this season, having recorded their lowest average in five years last term.

Oxford United have reported a loss of £1.4million for the 13/14 season on just £3.2m turnover, their third successive seven-figure loss. The club is now £8.5m in debt with losses not expected to improve for this season.
