There were 12 Conference teams in it this year. They were the two sides relegated from Division 3 plus the 7 (non-promoted) teams that finished in the top 9 in the 2002-03 Conference table plus Barnet (11th) , Stevenage (12th) and Telford (15th). For some reason Margate (10th), Farnborough (13th) and Northwich (14th) weren't included.

So it's not a foregone conclusion that a top 12 place guarantees entry. There's obviously some selection process. Does anyone know what it is?
