Teams transferred from2007–08 Conference North

No teams were relegated to the Conference South from the Conference Premier, so Worcester City were transferred in from the Conference North. The expulsion of two teams from the Conference North for financial reasons cancelled Redditch United's transfer between the two, and allowedDorchester Town to remain in the Conference South. All the four new teams never played in Conference South before.
