August 9 2008 marks the start of the 2008/2009 Coca-Cola Football League One season. The action is sure to be as intense as ever and Betfair and Skybet are adding to the atmosphere by giving away free bets that can be used at any point during the season.

Leeds United almost gained promotion to the Championship, but failed at the last hurdle in the playoff finals. This year, starting without a 15-point deficit, they will be amongst the favourites for promotion. West Yorkshire rivals, Huddersfield Town, are also expected to be there or thereabouts come the end of the season, as are newly relegated Leicester City and newly promoted MK Dons.

The favourites to face relegation down to League Two are Cheltenham, Yeovil Town and Crewe Alexandra, the latter only avoiding relegation last season by two points. Newly promoted Stockport County and Hereford United are also expected to struggle with the difference in class between divisions but both of those teams will be giving their all to stay in Coca-Cola league One.

The free bets from Betfair and Skybet can be used on any of the individual games throughout the season or on season long bets. Market leading odds will be available on betting options such as the season’s top goal-scorer, the four teams to be relegated, the three teams to be promoted, any team to be promoted automatically or through the playoffs and obviously, which team will be crowned Coca-Cola League One Champions.
