On the off chance that Hereford United are still playing in the Conference next season, here's the changes that will make the number of clubs up to 24.
The Nationwide Conference has confirmed that next season the league will expand by two teams to 24.
Next season onwards will see the formation of a 24 team league in the Nationwide Conference, as opposed to the current structure of 22, in order to the bring the competition more in line with The Football League. The new structure will therefore mean four extra games next season, two at home and two away.
The 2006/07 season onwards will also see four teams relegated from the Nationwide Conference each season, with two teams being promoted each season from the Conference South and Conference North.
However, promotion issues are unchanged, with only two clubs promoted to The Football League each season and two Football League clubs continuing to be relegated to the Nationwide Conference.
The Conference has also confirmed that the 2006/07 season will commence on Saturday 12th August 2006 and finish on Saturday 28th April 2007.
