Alty tipped for the drop
1:59pm Friday 4th July 2008
LEAGUE sponsors Blue Square have tipped Alty to finish in the drop zone again next season.
The Robins have finished in the bottom four in each of the past three seasons before being reprieved due to other clubs' difficulties.
And the betting firm predict another season of troubles for Graham Heathcote's men, rating them second favourites for relegation from the Blue Square Premier.
Blue Square South champions Lewes are odds-on favourites, priced at 4/6, while the Robins follow closely behind at evens.
Division newcomers Eastbourne Borough and barrow round out Blue Square's predicted bottom four, rated at 13/8 and 15/8 respectively.
Bitter rivals Northwich have been given odds of 11/4.
Favourites for the Blue Square Premier title are Stevenage Borough, who missed out on the play-offs last time round.
They are priced at 11/2, with Torquay and Wrexham at 6/1 and 7/1 respectively. Oxford United and Rushden and Diamonds round out the top five, both at 9/1.
Alty are a long shot at 80/1 to finish as champions.

Seeing Fairtrade in action
A few days ago I went on the hunt for a sugar plantation, with Sue, a retired nurse from Britain who is over in Malawi doing six months’ voluntary work. She is based several hours’ north of us, in Salima, helping local nurses caring for and visiting people who are dying. At home Sue buys all her sugar from the charity Traidcraft – so we were looking for the co-operative who their white sugar.
