Likely candidates for promotion to the Conference appear to be Slough Town,
Hednesford Town and Morecambe, all subject to passing a ground inspection this
week. Diadora Champions Enfield have surprisingly been rejected on financial
grounds despite showing a profit for the season and having the largest
turnover of any Diadora club.
