The Bulls will finish 2009 in 20th place after today's results.
Macclesfield's 4-1 win over Crewe means the Bulls slip to their lowest placing for nearly three months. Darlington's game was called off meaning they end the year 14 points short of safety, while Grimsby are five points adrift after a 2-1 home loss to Port Vale. Cheltenham beat Dagenham 2-0 to close the gap to the Bulls to two points.
At the top Rochdale beat Morecambe 4-1 to keep a five point lead and become the first club to pass the 50 point mark. Bournemouth kept pace with a 2-1 win over Torquay, while Rotherham hold third after their match was postponed. Notts County won 4-1 at Burton to retake fourth, and Shrewsbury took advantage of postponements to close the gap on the play-offs to goal difference with a 3-1 win at Bradford. Bury won 4-2 at Accrington to stay level on points with the Shrews.
In the Conference Chester's hopes of starting 2010 on zero points were dashed by the weather. Oxford were held 1-1 by Salisbury, with Stevenage failing to take advantage with a goalless draw at home to AFC Wimbledon. Forest Green also had a goalless draw with Tamworth, while Kidderminster lost 2-1 at Rushden.
