Stamford were reprieved from relegation after Cinderford Town refused promotion to the Southern League Premier Division. Corby Town were expected to be relegated to the Northern Premier League, but were transferred to replace Cinderford Town. Evesham United were therefore transferred to fill Stamford's intended place in the Northern Premier League Division One South and create a place for Cinderford Town, reprieving Stamford.[2]
