Today's Non-League Paper reports that only seven of the Conference chairmen voted against the expansion of the league to twenty-four teams for next season, despite earlier reports saying it was passed by twelve votes to ten.
Following Stevenage Borough chairman Phil Wallace's proposal, the subject was discussed for just ten minutes before a vote was taken.
Hereford United's Graham Turner was joined by Barnet, Chester City, Doncaster Rovers, Dagenham & Redbridge, Scarborough and Yeovil Town in opposing the proposals, while Forest Green Rovers, Gravesend & Northfleet, Halifax Town, Kettering Town, Leigh RMI, Morecambe, Northwich Victoria, Nuneaton Borough, Southport, Stevenage Borough, Telford United and Woking all backed it. Both Burton Albion and Farnborough Town refused to vote.
