Boston United will slip down to the Conference North for next season.
At today's Conference AGM, it was agreed that Boston would be demoted on financial grounds - starting their second non-league life in the BlueSq North, as it will be known next season.
Altrincham earn a reprieve for a second successive season after staying up 12 months ago as Scarboro were kicked out. Alty, who operate on a strict budget which is believed to be amongst the smallest in the top flight of non-league, have steered themselves away from near bankruptcy five years ago with chairman Geoff Goodwin telling the Messenger: "I do feel sorry for Boston but that's football isn't it? It's justice for us because we have aimed to do the right thing at this club, rather than running it into debt to chase the dream."
