2014–15 Football Conference

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Football Conference
Season2014–15

The 2014–15 Football Conference season was the eleventh season with the Football Conference consisting of three divisions and the thirty-fifth season overall. The Conference covers the top two levels of non-League football in England. The Conference Premier was the fifth highest level of the overall pyramid, while the Conference North and Conference South existed at the sixth level. The top team and the winner of the play-off of the Premier division are promoted to League Two, while the bottom four are relegated to the North or South divisions. The champions of the North and South divisions are promoted to the Premier division, alongside the play-off winners from each division. The bottom three in each of the North and South divisions are relegated to the premier divisions of the Northern Premier League, Isthmian League or Southern League.

Barnet returned the Football League as champions after two seasons in the Conference, while playoff winners Bristol Rovers returned after a single season, their only season outside the Football League since being admitted in 1920.
