With the end of August fast approaching, some fans will have turned their attention to which players will be coming and going before Tuesday's transfer deadline.

However, there was still one more round of fixtures to cram in before the season's first month came to a conclusion.

Emotional tributes, a superb winning run extended and a fortysomething still turning out in League Two; BBC Sport has picked out some of the day's main talking points from the Football League.

Brighton's victorious tribute

David Stockdale

Ipswich Town 2-3 Brighton & Hove Albion

The players and staff at Brighton & Hove Albion have been more affected than most by the Shoreham air disaster, in which 11 people died.

One of the victims, Matt Grimstone, was a member of the ground staff at the Championship club's training ground and played for non-league side Worthing United.

Grimstone's Worthing team-mate, Jacob Schilt, also died. He was a Brighton supporter.

Seven days on from the disaster, various events were held near the crash site to remember the victims.

Brighton's players wore black armbands during Saturday's game at Ipswich, while goalkeeper David Stockdale paid his own tribute by wearing personalised gloves and a special warm-up top before kick-off.

The Seagulls won 3-2 at Portman Road, Tomer Hemed's brace sending Chris Hughton's side top of the Championship table.

"The club has done an incredible job in helping the local police and everyone wanted to do well for Matt and Jacob," said Hughton.

At full-time, Stockdale pointed to the sky - gloves in one hand, black armband in the other.
