Gulls And Stanley Favourites For Drop

Torquay and Accrington are favourites for the drop, according to bookmakers.

Torquay are all but relegated according to bookies, with a price of 1/8 suggesting that their aim to claw back a nine point gap to safety with eight games remaining is futile. Accrington, the free admission at the weekend cost them £15,000 in lost revenue, are 11/8 second favourites for the drop with the current Conference Champions just three points off the bottom two having played a game more than Wrexham, who currently occupy 23rd place.

Boston, whose own manager described as a pub side after they were forced to drive themselves to Mansfield, are 9/4 with Wrexham 3/1. Macclesfield, who were once far adrift at the bottom, are 11/2 with Bury the only other quoted club at 7/1.

At the other end of the table, the Bulls are still rated as a 33/1 shot for promotion. Hartlepool are 1/10 favourites with Walsall, Swindon, and MK Dons all rated odds-on. Shrewsbury are eighth on the list at 11/2.
