Gresley Rovers won the Premier Division.
However, as their ground failed to meet the required standard, second-placed Cheltenham Town were promoted to the Football Conference instead.
Baldock Town, Chelmsford City and Newport were relegated to the Midland and Southern Divisions, whilst Sudbury Town (who had finished in thirteenth place) resigned from the league and dropped into the Eastern Counties League due to financial problems.
Tamworth, Forest Green Rovers, Rothwell Town and St Leonards Stamcroft (in their first season in the Southern League) were promoted to the Premier Division, the former two as champions of their divisions.
Meanwhile, Midland Division club Dudley Town resigned from the league at the end of the season and did not compete in any competitions the following season.
