here are bet365s current odds for promotion from the 4th div

wycombe 2/9
shrewsbury 11/10
stanley 3/1
torquay 7/2
stevenage 4/1
gillingham 7/1

quite a decent price for us that, barring a 3 way disaster we should get into playoffs?

for the doom mongers amongst us, to back us to lose or draw and both gills and stev to win pays around 10/1!!

Didn't realise Shrews have won 7 of the last 10. Must be doing something right, although hopefully missing out on the autos will hurt them a bit..

I think that may have been the case had we had a realistic chance going into the last game rather than a very distant hope. Deep down we we've been expecting, and resigned to, the playoffs since the previous Saturday when Bury fooked up at home to Wycombe.

Shrewsbury (9/4) and Accrington (11/4) have both drifted out now, while you can still get 3/1 and 7/2 on Stevenage and Torquay respectively. However, Ladbrokes make Stevenage their 5/2 second favourites with Torquay and Accrington both 11/4.
