Election to the Football League

As winners of the Alliance Premier League, Maidstone United won the right (for the 2nd time) to apply for election to the Football League to replace one of the four bottom sides in the 1983–84 Football League Fourth Division. The vote went as follows:

Club Final Position Votes
Chester City 24th (Fourth Division) 52
Halifax Town 21st (Fourth Division) 52
Rochdale 22nd (Fourth Division) 50
Hartlepool United 23rd (Fourth Division) 32
Maidstone United 1st (Alliance Premier League) 22

As a result of this, Maidstone United did not gain membership of the Football League.
