[edit] Promotion and relegation

This season saw 2nd placed First Division Bristol City become the first Southern League side to apply for election to the Football League; they succeeded and became members of Football League Division Two.

In the Second Division Sheppey United left the League at the end of the season and were replaced by newly-elected Brighton & Hove Albion and West Hampstead.
