Out: Les Pogliacomi (Oldham), Stuart Anderson (released), Tony Butler (Forest Green), Matt Shaw (released), Rob Edwards (released), Danny Warrender (released), Jason Wilcox (released), Kevin Lee (Southport)

Out: Michael Dobson (Walsall), Ricky Newman (released), Scott Fitzgerald (released), Paul Brooker (released), Jay Tabb (Coventry), Isaiah Rankin (Grimsby), Michael Turner (Hull), Eddie Hutchinson (Oxford), Marcus Gayle (Aldershot), Sam Sodje (Reading)
Chances: Brentford have suffered play-off heartache in the last two seasons and new manager Leroy Rosenior will be aiming to finish the job Martin Allen failed to complete. However, the loss of several key players could prove costly.

In: Alex Revell (Braintree Town)
Out: Jason Dodd (Eastleigh), Alexis Nicolas (released), Mark McCammon (released), Chris McPhee (released), Federico Turienzo (released), Seb Carole (Leeds)
Chances: Following relegation from the Championship last season Brighton will have to settle for a play-off battle as they struggle to adapt to life in League One.
Ticket prices: Adult é23.50-é27, Senior Citizen é15.50-é18.50, Junior - é1-é18

Out: Ollie Barnes (Bristol Rovers), Luke Wilkshire (released), Clayton Fortune (released), Jamie Smith (MK Dons), Nathan Abbey (released), Bas Savage (released), Ryan Hartley (released), Steve Phillips (Bristol Rovers)
Chances: Bristol City are set to be real contenders for automatic promotion after manager Gary Johnson spent a successful summer in the transfer market boosting his squad with players who should excel in League One after the Robins narrowly missed out on the play-offs last season.
Ticket prices: Adult é19-é22, Concession é14-é17, Junior é7-é10
Club: Carlisle
Nickname: The Cumbrians, The Blues, United
Ground: Brunton Park
Capacity: 16,651
Manager: Neil McDonald
In: Kevin Gall (Yeovil), David Raven (Liverpool)
Out: Brendan McGill (released), Lee Andrews (Torquay)
Chances: Carlisle will first hope to secure their place in League One following promotion but it would not be a shock to see the League Two champions in the running for a play-off berth at the end of the season. Although the loss of manager Paul Simpson to Preston could have an adverse affect on the side and see them struggle.
Ticket prices: Adult é13-é18, Concession é9-é12, Junior é3-é8
Club: Cheltenham
Nickname: The Robins
Ground: Whaddon Road
Capacity: 6,500
Manager: John Ward
In:
Out: Scott Musgrove (Stamford), Michael Taylor (Halifax), Gary Bradshaw (released)
Chances: Cheltenham secured their place in League One after fighting their way through the play-off lottery but will be hard pushed to avoid an instant return to League Two and could spend the majority of the season in the bottom half of the table.
Ticket prices: Adult é13-é16, Concession é9-é11, Junior é5-é7
Club: Chesterfield
Nickname: The Spireites
Ground: Recreation Ground/Saltergate

In: Phil Picken (Manchester United), Paul Shaw (Rotherham), Kevan Hurst (Sheffield United), Michael Jordan (Arsenal, free)
Out: Colin Heath (Macclesfield), Tcham N'Toya (Notts County), Carl Muggleton (Mansfield)
Chances: Chesterfield look set for another mid-table finish in League One but will need to keep looking over their shoulder to ensure they do not get dragged into a relegation battle if results start to go against them.
Ticket prices: Adult é15-é19, Concession é8-é13, Juvenile é3-é13
Club: Crewe Alexandra
Nickname: The Railwaymen
Ground: The Alexandra, Gresty Road
Capacity: 9,433

In: Neil Cox (Cardiff), Julien Baudet (Notts County), Darran Kempson (Morecambe)
Out: Richard Walker (Crewe), Juan Ugarte (Wrexham), Kenny Lunt (Sheffield Wednesday), Stephen Foster (Burnley), Chris McCready (Tranmere), Steve Jones (Burnley), Justine Cochrane (Rotherham)
Chances: Crewe will stay in the hunt for a play-off place but may be forced to spend another season in League One before plotting a return to the Championship as they could struggle to adapt to life in the lower reaches of English football.
Ticket prices: Adult é18, 12-16 é8 Under 11 é4 Senior Citizen é14.50
Club: Doncaster Rovers
Nickname: Rovers
Ground: The Earth Stadium, Belle Vue

Chances: Doncaster agonisingly missed out on a play-off place last season but could secure a place in the end of season showdown this time around. Manager Dave Penney has made some excellent signings over the summer and his side could be outsiders for an automatic promotion berth.
Ticket prices: Adult é15-18, Concessions é8-12
Club: Gillingham
Nickname: The Gills
Ground: Priestfield Stadium
Capacity: 11,400
Manager: Ronnie Jepson
In: Mark Bentley (Southend), Duncan Jupp (Southend), Dean McDonald (Ipswich), Gary Mulligan (Sheffield United), Guylain Ndumbu-Nsungu (Cardiff), Kelvin Jack (Dundee), Clint Easton (Wycombe).
Out: Paul Shields (Livingston), Chris Hope (Rushden & Diamonds), Richard Rose (Hereford), Jonathan Wallis (Hereford), Gavin Grant (Millwall), Akwasi Fobi-Edusei (Welling), Darren Byfield (Millwall), Jason Brown (Blackburn), Danny Knowles (released), Mark Cornielle (released), Paul Crichton (Cambridge)
Chances: The Gills were in relegation trouble until March when a six-match winning run propelled them to an outside chance of the play-offs. Boss Ronnie Jepson has added some quality players to his squad this summer and with a good start, they will be firmly in the mix and could even be automatic promotion contenders.
Ticket prices: Adult é15-é22 Senior Citizen, é12-é17, Young Person/Student é9-é15, Junior é7-é15, Minor é5-é7
Club: Huddersfield
Nickname: Terriers
Ground: The Galpharm Stadium
Capacity: 25,000
Manager: Peter Jackson
In: Matt Glennon (St Johnstone), Luke Beckett (Sheffield United)
Out: Tony Carss (released), Junior Mendes (Notts County), Phil Senior (Northwich Victoria)
Chances: Last season`s beaten play-off semi-finalists should again challenge for promotion and will have an outside chance of an automatic spot. The capture of prolific marksman Luke Beckett is a massive boost to Peter Jackson's side.
Ticket prices: Adult é18-é21, Senior Citizen é9-é12, Under 16 é6-é9, Student é12
Club: Leyton Orient
Nickname: The O's
Ground: Brisbane Road
Capacity: 11,127
Manager: Martin Ling
In: Wayne Cordon (Scunthorpe)
Out: Gabriel Zakuani (Fulham)
Chances: The Os have kept the same squad that earned them promotion and may hope to use that as a springboard to follow Southend's example and go straight up. But, in reality, they are more likely to face a struggle to avoid an instant return to the basement division.
Ticket prices: Adult é11-é22, Concession é12-é14, Junior (9-15) é6
Club: Millwall
Nickname: The Lions
Ground: The Den
Capacity: 20,146

Out: Barry Hayles (Plymouth), Carl Asaba (released), Carlos Fangueiro (released), Joe Healy (released), Sammy Igoe (released), Andy Marshall (Coventry), Trevor Robinson (released), Josh Simpson (released), Curtis Weston (Swindon), David Livermore (Leeds)
Chances: Millwall should be challenging for a play-off berth from the start and after new boss Nigel Spackman utilised his summer transfer spree to land quality players who will perform at this level, a push for automatic promotion could also be on the cards.
Ticket prices: Adult é18-é26, Senior é12-é16, Junior é9-é13
Club: Northampton
Nickname: Cobblers
Ground: Sixfields
Capacity: 7,653
Manager: John Gorman
In: Andy Holt (Wrexham), Sam Aiston (Tranmere), Joe Burnell (Wycombe)
Out: David Rowson (released), Gavin Johnson (Oxford), Matthew Gearing (released), Jason Lee (Notts County), Luke Graham (Forest Green), Martin Smith (Darlington), Ashley Westwood (Chester), Josh Low (Leicester)
Chances: The departure of Colin Calderwood and key men such as Josh Low and Martin Smith could leave the Cobblers facing a season of struggle on their return to the third tier. However, they have the nucleus of a good squad and with a couple of additions - and a fully-fit Andy Kirk - they could surprise a few people.
Ticket prices: Adult é16-19, Senior/Student é11.50-é13.50, Concessions é5.50-é12
Club: Nottingham Forest
Nickname: Forest
Ground: The City Ground
Capacity: 30,602
Manager: Colin Calderwood
In: Paul Smith (Southampton)
Out: Paul Gerrard (released), Gareth Taylor (Tranmere), Paul Evans (released), Eugen Bopp (released), Eugene Dadi
Chances: Tipped by many to romp the division last year, Forest struggled at first but a great late run under caretaker bosses Ian McParland and Frank Barlow saw them narrowly miss the play-offs. With Colin Calderwood installed as boss, expectations are again high - and rightly so.
Ticket prices: Adult é20-é26 Senior Citizen é16-é20 Concession é5-é10
Club: Oldham
Nickname: The Latics
Ground: Boundary Park
Capacity: 13,595
Manager: John Sheridan
In: Les Pogliacomi (Blackpool), Gary McDonald (Kilmarnock), Craig Rocastle (Sheffield Wednesday), Moussa Dabo (Racing Club Paris)
Out: Danny Hall (Shrewsbury), David Eyres (released), Richard Butcher (Peterborough), Terrell Forbes (Yeovil), Guy Branston (released), Chris Day (Millwall)
Chances: John Sheridan will cut his managerial teeth after the departure of Ronnie Moore to Oldham. On-loan Luke Beckett's goals fired them to a decent league position last season but with him now departed they may struggle to find the net regularly and find themselves towards the wrong end of the table.
Ticket prices: Adult é18-é20, Concession é8-é11, Senior Citizen é8-é11
Club: Port Vale
Nickname: The Valiants
Ground: Vale Park
Capacity: 18,982
Manager: Martin Foyle
In: Colin Miles (Yeovil), Danny Whitaker (Macclesfield), Akpo Sodje (Darlington), Paul Harsley (Macclesfield), Richard Walker (Crewe), Jason Talbot (Mansfield)
Out: Jonny Brain (Macclesfield), Tony Dinning (released), Michael Cummins (Darlington), Hector Sam (released), Steve Rowland (released), Craig James (released)
Chances: Vale again look short of the cutting edge needed to make a serious push for the play-offs and will hope they have enough quality throughout their squad to steer clear of a relegation battle.
Ticket prices: Adult é18-é19.50 Senior Citizen/Young Adult é12-é13 Juveniles é6-é8
Club: Rotherham
Nickname: The Millers
Ground: Millmoor
Capacity: 11,499
Manager: Alan Knill
In: Delroy Facey (Tranmere), Justin Cochrane (Crewe), Richie Partridge (Sheffield Wednesday), Ian Sharps (Tranmere), Pablo Mills (Derby), Scott Wiseman (Hull)
Out: Martin Butler (Walsall), Andy Monkhouse (Swindon), Phil Gilchrist (Oxford), Scott Minto (retired), John Mullin (Tranmere), Paul Shaw (Chesterfield), Paul McLaren (Tranmere)
Chances: Starting on minus 10 points, the Millers know they are facing an uphill task to even stay in the division. But they have added some good League One players to their squad and certainly have the quality required to overcome that deficit and finish in mid-table.
Ticket prices: Adult é18-é20 Senior Citizen/Student é10-é12 Juvenile é4-é6
Club: Scunthorpe
Nickname: The Iron
Ground: Glanford Park
Capacity: 9,182

Out: Richie Ryan (Boston), Tom Evans (released), Nathan Stanton (released), Paul Musselwhite (Eastleigh), Wayne Corden (Leyton Orient), Andy Parton (released), Tommy Johnson (Tamworth)
Chances: Scunthorpe could be a surprise package this season. After ending last season 11 points behind a play-off place Iron boss Brian Laws has boosted his ranks with goalkeeper Joe Murphy and former Liverpool striker Ramon Calliste, who could well help them make a push for the play-offs.
Ticket prices: Adult é14-é19 Concessions é9-é12 Child é5-é6
Club: Swansea
Nickname: The Swans/The Jacks
Ground: The Liberty Stadium
Capacity: 20,000
Manager: Kenny Jackett
In: Darren Pratley (Fulham)
Out: Roberto Martinez (released), Adrian Forbes (Blackpool), Sam Ricketts (Hull), Brian Murphy (released)
Chances: The Swans will be hoping to bounce back from their play-off final defeat to make another serious push for promotion this time around. The loss of Sam Ricketts will be felt but in Dean Leacock and Darren Pratley they have two promising youngsters who could turn out to be superb additions and the rest of their squad is certainly good enough to help them towards the upper reaches.
Ticket prices: Adult é13-é18, Senior é10-é13, Junior é7-é10
Club: Tranmere
Nickname: The Rovers
Ground: Prenton Park
Capacity: 16,500
Manager: Ronnie Moore
In: Paul McLaren (Rotherham), John Mullin (Rotherham), Shane Cansdell-Sherriff (Aarhus), Kevin Ellison (Hull), Robbie Stockdale (Hull), Gareth Taylor (Nottingham Forest), Gavin Ward (Preston), Chris Shuker (Barnsley)
Out: Gareth Roberts (Doncaster), Ian Sharps (Rotherham), Delroy Facey (Rotherham), Michael Jackson (Blackpool), Sam Aiston (Northampton), Joe Fowler (Southport), Paul Martin (Southport)
Chances: New boss Ronnie Moore has made useful additions to his squad during the summer and Rovers will avoid the relegation battle which dominated last season and could be in contention for a play-off berth.
Ticket prices: Adult é15-18, Young Person é8-13, Senior é8-10, Junior é5
Club: Yeovil
Nickname: The Glovers
Ground: Huish Park

Out: Phil Jevons (Bristol City), Dale Williams (Shrewsbury), Adam Lockwood (Doncaster), Stephen Reed (released), Richard Cullingford (released), Michael Rose (Stockport), Kevin Gall (Carlisle), Steve Collis (Southend), Chris Weale (Bristol City), Colin Miles (Port Vale)
Chances: Russell Slade led Grimsby to an unsuccessful League Two play-off bid last season before making the switch to Huish Park where he will face a tough battle. The loss of Phil Jevons and Kevin Gall will be felt and a lack of goals could see the Glovers in for a tough time.
