The Football Conference season of 1993–94 was the fifteenth season of the Football Conference, also known as the GM Vauxhall Conference for sponsorship reasons.

Overview

[edit]

Kidderminster Harriers finished the season as Conference champions, but were unable to gain promotion to the Football League as their stadium failed to meet capacity requirements. As a result, the bottom placed Third Division club Northampton Town avoided relegation to the Conference.
