[edit] Promotion and relegation

In the first season of the Northern Premier League none of the teams were put forward for election to the Football League nor automatically promoted. Conversely, none of the sides were relegated, but Ashington, Chorley and Worksop Town left the League at the end of the season, replaced by newly-admitted Stafford Rangers, Great Harwood and Matlock Town.
