Hodges and Newton face two match ban

Lee Hodges and his assistant, Dave Newton, have been banned for the first two matches of the new season, against Billericay Town and Havant & Waterlooville, following incidents at the end of City's 1-0 home defeat to Havant in April. The pair were incensed after referee Paul Rees gave the Hampshire side a penalty and then refused to give City one when Barry Hayles was brought down.
