Ladbrokes make Bulls favourites
One leading bookmaker has today made Hereford United favourites to win the Conference this season, but all the others are still keeping Chester on top.
Ladbrokes now have the Bulls at 7-4, with Chester at 2-1, and Shrewsbury at 7-1.
In general, Chester are available at about 2-1, and the average price for Hereford is just over 3-1. Shrewsbury's price varies from 10-3 to 7-1 and averages 9-2.
It is probably the first time since Hereford dropped to the Conference that they have been so fancied for a return to higher level football.
