Club Allocations for Steps 1 to 4 of the National League System 16/05/2008
Following recommendations by the Alliance Committee, the Club allocations for Steps 1 to 4 of the National League System for Season 2008/09 have been confirmed today by the Football Association Leagues Committee.
In arriving at these allocations it has been assumed that Halifax Town FC have been expelled from the Football Conference. This has led to Altrincham FC, Hucknall Town FC, Borehamwood FC and Slough Town FC being reprieved from relegation at their respective levels.
This situation has NOT been confirmed and may be subject to change.
The FA will obviously make every effort to advise of any subsequent changes to the Halifax Town situation. As in previous years there, there may well be other changes forced upon us and these will be dealt with accordingly.
