It didn't take long for Conference sides to test out the new Wembley Stadium. The first cup final to be decided at the revamped national stadium saw an all-Conference final with Stevenage Borough beating Kidderminster Harriers 3-2 to take the FA Carlsberg Trophy. The crowd of 53,262 was a record for the competition. 

The following weekend Morecambe beat Exeter City at Wembley in the Conference play-off final to book their place in the Football League for 2007/08.
