With a much reduced budget and a young team, a relegation struggle was no surprise. The season started with ex-Gillingham player Barry Ashby as manager. He only lasted until October and was replaced by Director of Football Terry Yorath. Margate finished fourth from bottom, the last relegation spot, but were handed a reprieve due to issues with clubs elsewhere in the non-league pyramid.
