FARNBOROUGH
Farnborough will be allowed to play their glamour FA Cup
fourth-round clash against Arsenal at Highbury after

Manager Colin Addison has played down speculation that
striker Alex Meechan could be allowed to leave. Meechan

encouraging transfer overtures.

GRAVESEND
Gravesend & Northfleet are leading the chase for
former Gillingham defender Adrian Pennock, who retired
from full-time football last week due to injury. The
31-year-old has attracted the attention of several

the added opportunity of a coaching role - would appeal.

HALIFAX
Manager Chris Wilder has reiterated his belief that the
Shaymen can gain promotion back to the Football League at

arrivals.

NORTHWICH
Boss Jimmy Quinn is well aware that Saturday's FA Trophy
match against UniBond Premier Division side Barrow
presents a potential banana skin. "They've got some
very handy lads, quite a few ex-league players. It's not
going to be easy, that's for certain," said Quinn,
who has a full squad to choose from.

Scarborough are without striker Keith Scott for
Saturday's FA Trophy third-round match against the strong
