Until you get to the Conference, the Football League (FL) will still relegate 
two clubs from League 2 into the Conference (BSBP) and two will be promoted, 
but 
should Portsmouth (or anyone else) this season, the FL will operate with only 
71 
clubs next season, if a club goes bust during the close-season, then the FL 
will 
amend things to keep 72 clubs in the League (the other 20 are in the Premier of 
course).

The FL said a while ago now, it was their long-term ambition to reduce the 
numbers in the FL, they see 70 as the optimum number, but would only do this by 
natural wastage.
