This year Wealdstone, the champions of the Alliance Premier League, could not apply for election because their stadium did not meet Football League requirements. 2nd placed Nuneaton could not apply either for the same reason, and nor could 3rd placed Dartford, so 4th placed Bath City won by default the right to apply for election to the Football League to replace one of the four bottom sides in the 1984–85 Football League Fourth Division. The voting went as follows:
| width=140 | Club | width=185 | Final Position | width=50 | Votes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 23rd (Fourth Division) | 52 | ||||
| 22nd (Fourth Division) | 50 | ||||
| 24th (Fourth Division) | 50 | ||||
| 21st (Fourth Division) | 48 | ||||
| 4th (Alliance Premier League) | 8 |
As a result of this, Bath City failed to gain membership of the Football League.
