Promoted Cheltenham Town were promoted to the Football League, Scarborough were relegated from the League to take their place.

Relegated Barrow were expelled from the Conference after Barrow AFC (1901) went bust and the Conference wouldn't allow the new Barrow club - Barrow AFC (1999) Ltd - to take their place. They dropped down to the Unibond NPL. Leek Town were relegated to the Unibond Northern Premier League and  Farnborough were relegated to the Ryman Isthmian League. Replacing the three relegated clubs were Altrincham from the Unibond NPL, Nuneaton Borough from the Dr Martens Southern League and Sutton United from the Rymans Isthmian League.
