    That's all from me today, but we're back from 08:00 on Monday.  

    Before I go, let's have a look at five things we didn't know when we woke up this morning:

    • A church in Selby is welcoming those who are grieving after two teenagers died in a crash near Howden
    • Hull's Siemens factory has started a special needs employment programme
    • An exploding charger cost a big brand £22,000
    • Avocado sells in not just supermarkets
    • And always keep an eye on the junk in your loft - you might find a Mick Ronson demo in there!

    Despite Crewe being 21st and Grimsby 11th in League Two, Artell told BBC Radio Stoke he is confident his players can beat their visitors.

    Quote Message: We've got better players but we're not 11th. They've had a bit of quality up-front in Bogle [striker] who's gone. It's going to be a tester for them in the remaining games of the season whether they can get the goals. The challenge for us is to make sure they don't start." from David Artell Crewe Alexandra manager
