Shrewsbury Town went down with them and they were replaced by Yeovil Town and Doncaster Rovers - 2002/03 Conference table and play off details.

* Exeter failed to play one of their League matches in the 1973/74 season - full details.

** The 2019/20 season ended early because of the coronavirus pandemic with the last League 2 match - other than the play-offs - being played on Tuesday March 10th. Because of the differing amount of matches played by clubs it was decided that a points per game (PPG) table would replace the traditional points table to decide final League placings - Exeter finished 4th using the traditional points system but dropped to 5th using PPG although that kept them in the play-offs.
