1. Crawley Town deducted 6 points for a breach of financial regulations.
2. Halifax Town deducted 10 points for entering administration and later resigned from the Conference due to financial problems. These resulted in the folding of the
   club, but it was soon reformed with name F.C. Halifax Town, and was able to play competitive football in Northern Premier League Division One North, on Level 8
   of the English football league system.
