Football Conference 2007-08

Football Conference 2007-08

The Football Conference consists of the top two levels of Non-League football in England. The Conference National is the fifth highest level of the overall pyramid, whilst the Conference North and Conference South exist at the sixth level. The top team and the winner of the playoff of the National division will be promoted to Football League Two, while the bottom four will be relegated to the North or South divisions. The champions of the North and South divisions will be promoted to the National division, alongside the play-off winners from each division. The bottom three in each of the North and South divisions will be relegated to the premier divisions of the Northern Premier League, Isthmian League or Southern League For sponsorship reasons, the league is frequently referred to as the Blue Square Premier.

Conference National

The Conference National had five new teams for the 2007-08 season, all of which had never played in the division before:
*Torquay United, relegated from Football League Two
*Droylsden, Conference North champions
*Farsley Celtic, Conference North play-off winners
*Histon, Conference South champions
*Salisbury City, Conference South play-off winners
Boston United were also relegated from the Football League, but were placed in the Conference North due to financial problems. Altrincham, who had finished in the relegation zone in the 2006-07 season were reprieved in order for the division to remain at 24 teams.
