Turner surprised by expansion vote

Graham Turner has revealed that he was one of the ten who voted against the expansion of the Conference at Wednesday's chairmen meeting.

The Hereford United supremo told BBC Hereford & Worcester: "Out of the blue there came a proposal that the league be made up of 24 teams next season. I was most surprised to say the least.

"I think they have to get FA permission for it all to be carried through, but it looks like only one team will be relegated."

The move comes after cynically, several people mentioned that Graham Westley's Stevenage Borough side would not end up being relegated this season. They currently lie one from bottom of the Conference, but as the new system would stand, only Kettering Town would be relegated.
