Changes since the previous season Barnet (relegated from the Football League 2000–01) Farnborough Town (promoted 2000–01) Margate (promoted 2000–01) Stalybridge Celtic (promoted 2000–01) Overview The manager of Boston United, Steve Evans, and former chairman, Pat Malkinson, were charged with breaking the Football Association's rules over the registration of players. Both men received bans from the FA, and the club were fined and docked four points from their first season in the League. This angered some, especially the Conference runners up Dagenham & Redbridge, who believed that any points deduction should have applied to the previous season, which would have meant Dagenham being promoted instead.
