It's now 3-1

Today's win has made SkyBet drop the odds on Hereford United winning the Conference from 7/2 to 3-1. Chester remain the bookies favourites at 9-4 and Shrewsbury are still at 4-1.

Bar these three no other club is available with SkyBet at less than 11-1.

The attendance this afternoon at Edgar Street was the second best in the Conference this season and was more than double that of the home game, which was against Chester, on the same Saturday last season. The average attendance this season so far is 3993, which is the highest in the Conference.

Meanwhile, Chester have changed their mind about the ticket arrangements for the Hereford game on October 18th. It had been reported that it was to be all ticket but an annoucement was made at the end of Chester's game this afternoon that it is now to be pay on the gate.

Former Bulls player John Grant, now with Telford, was sent off this afternoon. However his suspension will not start until after the Hereford versus game next Tuesday week.

It is also being reported that Ian Wright, who now plays for Burton, had a bad knock this afternoon. It is thought that he may miss next Friday's clash with Hereford at Burton.
