Imps slip to 10/1 to win the Blue Square


By Nathan Jackson
June 9 2011

Lincoln's lack of activity in the transfer market has seen the prices with bookmakers raise from 9/1 to 10/1. Luton and big-spending Fleetwood are still the favourites with the Imps as seventh favourites for promotion next season.

Lincoln have just six players registered for next season, all of whom are on the transfer list. All other players have either been released or have yet to sign a new contract. Other than the occasional link to a player in the Lincolnshire Echo, not one of which has been officially confirmed by Lincoln, the silence from Sincil Bank has been deafening, especially given that the only news since the season regarding the first team is the aforementioned releases and six friendlies being arranged.

Last season's Playoff Final losers Luton are still favourites at 7/2 with high spenders Fleetwood at 9/2. Darlingtod and Mansfield are both at 15/2 with York and Wrexham both at 9/1, whereas Lincoln are 10/1, as are Newport County.

Hayes and Yeading remain the heavy favourites to go down, whereas the best odds for a promoted side are Alfreton's 50/1, with Telford at 80, Ebbsfleet at 100 and Braintree at 150/1 following their promotion winning manager leaving.

its nice to see that we are 10/1 to get promoted, grimsby are 14/1 and we don't even have a single player signed for next year, lets just hope this is sign as to how much faith the bookies have in tilson to bring in 16 decent players. Rather him than me

thats to win the league not to get promotion!! Ridiculous price...I wouldn't take 100/1 to win it. No momentum behind a retun like last time with Murphy and no ambition from the club to do it either. Anyone want to lay me decent odds we finish in the bottom 8?

The bookies always offer good odds on newly relegated teams ,self explanitary when was the last time a team bounced straight back up.
Fleetwood are a far better bet.
