2014–15 Isthmian League

The 2014–15 season was the 100th season of the Isthmian League, which is an English football competition featuring semi-professional and amateur clubs from London, East and South East England. Also, it was the ninth season for the current incarnations of the Division One North and Division One South.

Following the resignation of Vauxhall Motors from the Conference North,[1] and the liquidation of Southern League Premier Division club Hinckley United,[2] Redhill and Wroxham were reprieved from relegation in Division One South and Division One North respectively.[3]

There was subsequently a further reprieve as Worksop Town resigned from the Northern Premier League. Wingate & Finchley had initially been relegated to Isthmian League Division One North, but were readmitted to the Premier Division. Knock-on effects included Ware moving back to Division One North after first being placed in the Southern League, and Hayes & Yeading United moving to the Southern Premier after initially being placed in the Isthmian Premier.[4]

The Premier Division consisted of 24 clubs: 19 clubs from the previous season, and five new clubs:

Maidstone United won the division and were promoted to the Conference South, renamed the National League South for 2015–16. It would be the highest level Maidstone had reached since the club was reformed in 1992. Enfield Town initially finished the season in fifth place, but prior to the play-offs they were controversially deducted three points due to fielding an ineligible player, and dropped out of play-off zone. Margate won the play-offs and returned to the sixth tier after ten seasons in the Isthmian League. The four clubs that finished in the bottom four places were relegated, although Peacehaven & Telscombe missed out on a reprieve by one point from Marine who finished 21st in the Northern Premier League.
