Lee Carter distraught as AFC Telford game pulled

Chairman Lee Carter today admitted his frustration at seeing AFC Telford United’s big return to the top tier of non-League football postponed, admitting: “The dream has become a nightmare.”
The Bucks were due to announce their arrival in the Blue Square Bet Premier with a home clash against joint title favourites Luton Town on Saturday evening.
