GREEN = ODDS HAVE SHORTENED 
RED   = ODDS HAVE LENGTHENED

Not much change at the bottom of the betting with only AFC Telford United going out from 40/1 to 50/1. The Towns of Luton and Fleetwood are still favourites despite their odds lengthening but only by a very small amount. There is then a gap to third favourite's York City who are now 7/1 from 9/1.

There is no surprise in the big change being Stockport County going in from 28/1 into 12/1 for the title. Since the 26th June the club has been subject of a take-over and ex Liverpool and Manchester City player Dietmar Hamann has taken over as boss bringing in a number of impressive signings. The question some people will ask is will Hamann's new look side gel in time to make a good start to their league campaign??

They make their Blue Square Premier debut on Friday 12th August in an away trip to Forest Green Rovers.
