| Hucknall Town were refused promotion as their stadium was not up to the required standard for the Conference. Teams who finished from first down to thirteenth - along with Bradford Park Avenue who won a play-off competition, and Ashton United following Telford United's liquidation - were transferred to the newly created Conference North/South leagues. |
