Four banned for betting on League Two game

Disciplinary chiefs have expressed “serious concerns” that a Football League match may have been fixed after four players were banned for between five months and a year for betting on the outcome.

The four players have been suspended and fined after betting on the outcome of the League Two match between Accrington and Bury on May 3, 2008 – three of the players were with Stanley at the time and the other at Bury, who won the game 2-0.
