Background

This season saw two changes in the existing members, and two new members, a new Chorley Borough (2) and an additional (now three in total) junior club
This brought the number of entrants up to thirty-eight
The changes in details are :-
1 Mansfield Marksman changed their name to Nottingham City and moved to a new Harvey Hadden Stadium in Nottingham
2 York had been renamed as Ryedale-York and moved to the new Ryedale Stadium on the outskirts of the city
3 Chorley Borough re-formed, this time as Trafford Borough and moved out of Chorley and to Moss Lane the home ground of Altrincham F.C.
4 and this left a vacancy in Chorley which was filled by a newly formed club using the name of the recently departed club, yet another Chorley Borough (2)
