Premiership and Football League clubs cannot now sign players until 1 January 2006.
In exceptional circumstances, such as if a club had no goalkeepers available, the Premiership might consider allowing a club to sign a player.
In the Football League, loan deals are permitted.
Conference clubs can register four short-term and four long-term loan players after the window closes, and can play five loan players in a game.
They can also sign a keeper for a minimum period of seven days outside the window if they do not have a registered keeper available.

The Football League/FA didn't want the transfer window in the first place, they fought it as long as they could.
