Morecambe FC match against Altrincham will go ahead under new manager Ashir Singh Johal
Morecambe FC will play Altricham as planned on Saturday, 23 August, under new manager Ashvir Singh Johal. The Shrimp's previous two league matches were postponed following the club's suspension for failing to comply with National League rules. The club took to X to confirm that tickets are now on sale for their match at home to the Robins, despite doubts over whether the new manager could rebuild an 11-man squad in time. Morecambe FC, who were relegated from League Two at the end of the 2024/25 Season, were suspended from the National League in July amid ongoing financial issues. The suspension has now been lifted, with Owners Bond Group and investment firm Panjab Warriors agreeing a deal for the sale of the club, after more than a year of protracted talks and the Shrimps at risk of "immediate closure". The new owners first action was to part ways with manager Derek Adams, announcing Ashvir Singh Johal as the club's new manager just hours later. The 30-year-old is now the youngest head coach in the top five tiers of English football, and the first Sikh to take on the role at a British football club. Despite the uncertainty of the immediate future, the new boss is looking to the long term. 'The immediate priority right now is going to be to identify the players that we need in this building to ensure Morecambe Football Club can perform well in the National League,' he said in an interview with the club's official website. 'I think the short-term plan this year is to make sure that we retain our place in the National League by playing exciting, energetic football and working hard. I think that is a short-term aim. 'The long-term aim is to build the processes, the infrastructure. There's a clear commitment from the owners about the direction they want the club to go in. 'OK, now it's about building, and it's about growing and making sure that in three, four, five years' time, this is a completely energised and galvanised more football club that thrives in the EFL.' The club has confirmed the National League has lifted the embargo, and they are now free to sign players ahead of their first match.

Askey admits Truro need to improve quickly
Truro City boss John Askey fears a long season of struggle ahead if his side produce repeats of their performance against Tinners suffered a 2-0 defeat to leave them goalless, pointless and bottom of the National League table after three damage was done by two Tamworth goals in two first-half minutes and Askey told BBC Radio Cornwall: "[It was a] poor performance. They outfought us, out-battled us. It's tough at the moment. It's going to be a long season if we put performances in like that."We've got to improve and improve quickly. We were too easily beaten. I don't want to be too down on them but it was hard to get away from the performance." Truro have found it difficult adapting to life a level up in the opening weeks of their first season in the fifth tier, after winning the National League South last 2-0 loss at Tamworth followed defeats against York City and Wealdstone by the same scoreline. Askey said: "I don't think it's a lack of effort or commitment. We've just got to adjust to the league and we've got to think quicker."Get back into positions, be more aggressive, with and without the ball. Time will tell whether whether we can bridge a gap or not."
