In League Two the action was concentrated at the bottom of the table with Bournemouth's 1-0 win over Dagenham putting them within two points of Grimsby, who lost 3-2 at home to Morecambe after squandering a 2-0 lead. Accrington drew 0-0 with Luton in front of just 1,033 as the televised Champions League hammered attendances across the board.
In the Conference the betting coup of the day turned into an anti-climax after Northwich disappointed half of the people involved in matching £510,000 on Betfair with a goalless draw with Kettering. Also disappointed were Forest Green, who wasted a two goal lead to only get a 3-3 draw at Torquay.
