Before the start of the season the following teams moved to the league:

Leicestershire Senior League

Burbage Old Boys and Houghton Rangers.

Leicester & District Mutual Football League

Pick Everard and Wellington Victoria 86 (+Reserves).

Leicester City Football League

Rothley Imperial (+Reserves).

From the Melton & Rutland District League

Melton Toy Soldiers.

The following new teams joined the league:

Beaumont Town, East Midlands Electricity 97, Gynsill Lane, Stanton and Swallow.

As well as the above teams the following reserve teams also joined:

Beaumont Town Reserves and Gynsill Lane Reserves.

(as both Beaumont Town and Gynsill Lane went straight into the Premier Division I suspect they may have been existing clubs that were renamed for this season. The likely candidates seem to be Grange AFC who were last years Division One champions and British Shoe Corporation who were in the Premier Division)
