    So, what would it be like..........?

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/tables

    Assuming Luton go up we COULD be travelling afar to:
    Gateshead
    Grimsby
    Halifax
    Lincoln

    And travelling 'down the road' to;
    Hereford
    Wrexham
    Salisbury
    Forest Green
    ............and possibly travelling again to Torquay.

    And some old favourites in Barnet and Aldershot.

    If Bath City and /or Weston-Super-Mare have good second halves to their seasons
    they could come up from Conference South!

    Leading Conference North at the moment are the mighty....NORTH FERRIBY UNITED!

    At the weekend 625 watched Gateshead and 740 watched Salisbury, though both
    Chester and Lincoln got just over 2,000!!!

    Just as well it ain't gonna happen! <doh>

    WHERE ARE THEY NOW....................?

    I looked at the clubs relegated into the Conference over the last 10 years.
    Ask yourself what's happened to them since.................

    2003/4: Carlisle and York City
    2004/5: Kidderminster and Cambridge United
    2005/6: Oxford United and Rushden and Diamonds
    2006/7: Boston United and Torquay
    2007/8: Mansfield and Wrexham
    2008/9: Chester and Luton
    2009/10:Grimsby and Darlington
    2010/11:Lincoln and Stockport
    2011/12:Hereford and Macclesfield
    2012/13:Barnet and Aldershot

    So last year's relegated teams are currently 10th and 19th in the Conference
    Of the remaining 18 only Carlisle, York, Oxford, Mansfield and Torquay made it back.
    Only Carlisle have made it into L1 (18th)
    and as for Darlington, Rushden, Stockport, Boston.........................

    We just can't afford to go down!
