As you can see since the creation of the Conference South and North divisions which changed the leagues from step 2 to step 3 on the non-league ladder only AFC Wimbledon and Fleetwood Town have moved up to the football league. Gateshead went very close last season losing the Conference play-off final and are in second place this campaign.
Since the creation of the new Step two (Conference North and South) a total of sixteen promoted clubs have moved up to the Conference Premier from the three leagues in question.
Fleetwood Town are the highest placed club presently in tenth place of League One. The only other clubs at this level are Yeovil Town (who spent last season in The Championship) and Crawley Town. The Glovers are down in 23rd place and will need to start picking up points to prevent two relegations in as many seasons. Crawley Town are in fifteenth place but only five points above Yeovil so it's a very close division. Two or three wins in a row could make all the difference.
Burton Albion, Morecambe, Cheltenham Town, Accrington Stanley, Dagenham & Redbridge, Wycombe Wanderers, Stevenage FC and AFC Wimbledon are all in League Two.
Macclesfield Town and Aldershot Town were relegated in 2012 and 2013 resepectively. They now play in the Conference Premier. Boston United are currently in the Conference North after relegation from the football league in 2007 with AFC Rushden and Diamonds formed after the demise of Rushden and Diamonds top of the United Counties League Premier Division.
