Election to the Football League

As winners of the Alliance Premier League, Enfield won the right to apply for election to the Football League to replace one of the four bottom sides in the 1985–86 Football League Fourth Division. The vote went as follows:

Club Final Position Votes
Exeter City 21st (Fourth Division) 64
Preston North End 23rd (Fourth Division) 62.5
Cambridge United 22nd (Fourth Division) 61
Torquay United 24th (Fourth Division) 61
Enfield 1st (Alliance Premier League) 7.5

As a result Enfield did not gain membership of the Football League. This was the final season in which the team who won the Conference National had to apply for election to the Football League, and from the 1986–87 season onward the winning team was automatically promoted, on the provision that they met the various conditions that the Football League set for all its members.
