Bulls Odds-On For Promotion... So Are Darlo!

The bookies are leaving nothing to chance with both the Bulls and Darlington still rated odds-on for promotion.

With Corals offering best odds of 1/100 on both MK Dons and Peterboro to gain promotion, the Bulls are rated as a best-price 4/7 (Tote) with Darlington slight outsiders at 5/6 (Tote, Coral). Stockport are 15/8 with Wycombe (6th, 11/4), Rochdale (8th, 13/5) and Chesterfield (7th) offered at 7/1.

The bookies feel the relegation places are sorted, with Mansfield and Wrexham both long odds-on for the drop (1/5 and 1/4). Notts County are 6/1 - along with Chester and Dagenham - for a spectacular fall with an unlikely seven points to be made up from seven and eight games respectively.

The Bulls were originally on offer at 10/1 for promotion last July, with Accrington, Barnet, and Bury the original favourites for the drop. Wrexham were expected, by the bookies, to end up 19th with Mansfield 17th - both above the Bulls expected finish of 20th.
