Garton was quickly on the phone to local MP Vernon Coaker who was as ever very helpful and the situation has hopefully eased somewhat by now.

In other news, former Eastwood captain Romaine Graham has signed for the Millers, bringing to eight the number of new signings that Wayne Scott has made.

Graham, like all of the others, is very welcome at Stoke Lane as the club gears up for the opening friendly of the summer in three weeks against Mansfield Town.
