New contracts are offered to Michael Boulding and Simon Ford, whose current deals expire at the end of June.

Former boss Lennie Lawrence gives a 'rare' interview with The Western Mail. "Grimsby did me the biggest favour in the last 10 years when they got rid of me because it meant I landed up at Cardiff. This club is infinitely bigger than Grimsby. Everything is totally and utterly different. There is no comparison. Getting sacked by Grimsby has proved a blessing in disguise. I'm not bitter about what Grimsby did. It's a lovely little club and I enjoyed my time there. They stayed in the First Division, so they will feel they made the right decision. It's a small club, so what else could they do? There was no money to buy players so you change the manager. You understand these things when you work at a small club." Do you miss him?
