On 20 June 2009, three days following the league's AGM which confirmed the 2009–10 allocation, Newcastle Blue Star resigned from the league.[2] As division placements had been confirmed be then, no replacement team could be entered and the Premier Division was reduced to twenty one teams for the season.
On 9 December 2009,King's Lynn were officially wound up by the High Court in London over debts and an overdue tax bill, and they will play no further games in the season. The League released a table on 21 December with King's Lynn's playing record expunged from it, and leaving the Premier Division with twenty clubs and only two relegation spots.[3] Then, in March 2010Chester City F.C. andFarsley Celtic A.F.C. were removed from theConference National andConference North respectively.
Promotion from the First Divisions to the Premier Division took place as planned. Relegation from the First Divisions to the county level was reduced from the planned two per division to one. Relegation from the Premier Division was reduced from two to one on account of developments in the Conference. The final decision on relegations were made during the close season by the FA'sNational League System Committee which left this method completely redundant asChester City,Farsley Celtic (nowFarsley A.F.C.),King's Lynn,Grays Athletic (lost their ground),Merthyr Tydfil (expelled),VCD Athletic (ground grade fail) andRothwell Town (resigned) were all demoted to Level 8.
