The National League South
The England National League South, which used to be called Conference South (as of today is called Motorama National League South for sponsorship reasons). All NLS matches as well as England National League South Predictions are now available on Betimate.
1. First introduction
Introduced in 2004 as an attempt to help with the restructuring of the National League System. Every year the Champion will be promoted to the National League and the winner of the play-off will get the second seed which also involves the teams that placed in second to seventh place.
The National League South was reduced to 21 clubs starting this season, but they will expand into 24 teams next season, and starting from the 2022 season the relegation rule will increase the number of relegated teams into 4.
