Town are currently third in the Championship with nine games to go, and just six points off automatic promotion. 

But Hoyle says he's leaving any planning for the top flight to CEO Julian Winter.

He says: "I let Julian deal with all that. I'll have a nosy around, but because it means so much to me, I'm quite superstitious.

"The only plan I have is the Championship. You can't think about it. Julian's role is to think about the bigger picture. My role's to keep everybody's feet firmly on the ground."

The boy was walking home from school at about 16:40 on Friday 10 March when the man asked the boy to follow him.  

The boy ran off but he and his family have been left upset by the incident.

Anyone who was on Drakehouse Lane in Beighton at about that time is asked to contact police.

The Conservative MP for Shipley, West Yorkshire, says going on Twitter was "probably one of the worst things I ever did" as all his followers hate him.

Philip Davies, known for his criticism of "militant feminism", told fellow MPs those who were not on Facebook or Twitter were "the sensible ones".

Of his Twitter critics, he said: "It's all very interesting, what they have to say, I'm sure, but it seems to me rather pointless to be perfectly honest."

York City are in a confident mood ahead of tomorrow's game at Dagenham and Redbridge.

Manager Gary Mills has told BBC Radio York Sport they're travelling with the belief they can beat one of the National League play-off hopefuls. 

He says: "We're capable of going to win the game. I don't have to state the obvious that four or five months ago we'd be thinking we'd do well to even get a draw. That's not a nice feeling.

"The feeling we've got now is great and we know we can go out and win football matches whoever it is."

It's not often you see a brand new sport enter the arena.

But the first ever (to our knowledge!) Red Nose Day table tennis matches are being played in Sheffield.

Surely a contender to be a new Olympic sport?:
