VCBet 2005-2006 Coca Cola Championship Ante Post Odds

Championship: Saints and Canaries backed for Cola gloryBookies VC Bet report that relegated Southampton and Norwich have seen some serious fiscal interest to win next season's Coca Cola Championship.The pair are currently losers for more than £100k with odds man Nick Blezard conceding that both teams will almost certainly challenge strongly for automatic promotion in 2005/6."If Saints hold onto Peter Crouch they will take some serious stopping. His height will be a massive weapon for life in the Championship and it would appear that many of our ante-post punters agree."All the indications are that Norwich boss Nigel Worthington is hanging onto his best players and the recent news that star keeper Robert Green is committing to the club will help their cause enormously."The weight of ante-post money has seen Norwich cut from 8s to 11/2 with Southampton in from 6s to 11/2.Crystal Palace are VC Bet's 5/1 favourites to win the league.Blezard added that despite the obvious quality of the ex-Premiership pair, he fancied bigger priced 28/1 Coventry and 66/1 Burnley to go well."Coventry boss Micky Adams has pulled off a major coup in getting young striker Gary McSheffrey to sign a new contract."I really fancy him to make a name for himself next season and could be worth a look in the top scorer lists at massive odds."And Burnley looked a good thing for a play-off place last season at the three-quarter stage, only to fall short."But Steve Cotterill has since strengthened his squad with some solid signings and they can be expected to upset some of the bigger sides in this division."Crystal Palace 5/1 Southampton 11/2 Norwich 11/2 Wolves 6/1 Ipswich 10/1 Leeds Utd 12/1 Leicester 14/1 Preston 14/1 Sheffield Utd 16/1 Derby 16/1 Reading 25/1 Coventry 28/1 Hull City 28/1 Sheffield Wednesday 33/1 Luton Town 33/1 Millwall 33/1 Stoke City 40/1 Cardiff 50/1 Watford 50/1 Burnley 66/1 Plymouth 100/1 Brighton 150/1 Crewe 200/1 EW 1/4 1,2,3.
