Torquay surrendered a half time lead to lose today and edge closer to the Conference.
Losing 2-1 at home to Cheltenham means Torquay are six points adrift at the bottom of League Two. Two former Conference winners, Barnet and Rushden, are level on 45 points fighting it out for safety. Barnet lost at fellow strugglers Oxford, while Rushden conceded a last minute equaliser to Rochdale - another side in trouble. Eight teams are still in trouble for the second relegation spot.
Chester appear to have got themselves out of trouble. Five straight wins have launched Chester to 15th place and they are now as close to the play-offs as the relegation zone.
