Well done Accrington Stanley on getting Promoted, Southport will take their place next season.

Accrington Stanley done it in style by cracking the the century mark, if Lutel James stayes they can be a difficult team to beat. In their place Haig Avenue will be a new venue for Vauxhall, hopefully we can get a few supporters to go there. They came down because Leigh RMI won and Port lost 3-0 to Stevenage Borough.

Alfreton Town and Spennymoor got promoted from the UniBond 1st Division, in plcae of relegated Colwyn Bay and Hyde United. Gateshead go into the play-offs with Radcliffe Borough, New Ferriby United and Chorley. Alfreton promise to be a strong force next season as they put away 106 league goals on their way to the title, although teams as low as Kendall Town in 12th had a better defensive record the still had a +47 goal difference.
