Club news

Scunthorpe United have announced Jimmy Dean as their new manager following his Peterborough Sports departure yesterday.

After the recent freeze it was a warm welcome back - and there were some icy receptions dished out!

We’re getting on for being two thirds of the way through the season and every win from now on will feel just that bit more important.

This week has been full of deals as clubs across the Vanarama National League with a host of deals done.

Hopefully it’s farewell to the freezing conditions because there’s a brilliant National League North and South programme ahead!

We have new National League leaders as the games that beat the freeze produced plenty of talking points.

The National League and BT Sport are thrilled to announce Chesterfield’s frozen-off game with title rivals Notts County will be broadcast live next month.

There was less football than we all hoped for across the divisions but goal explosion made up for the lack of games.

Here we go again! After an FA Cup, FA Trophy and icy weather interrupted last week, the National League is roaring back - and the noise is about to become deafening.

We all know pundits can polarize opinion, but not too many will disagree with BT Sport commentator Adam Summerton’s assessment of Saturday’s huge game.

The thaw is hopefully underway but whose title charge is only just heating up?

It wasn’t to be for Chesterfield in the FA Cup tonight - or the many clubs who failed to overcome the freezing conditions.
