A total of six new clubs will arrive in the National League next season ready to do battle with Chester FC .
Relegated Football League clubs York City and Dagenham & Redbridge replaced promoted sides Cheltenham Town and Grimsby Town, while Solihull Moors, Sutton United, Maidstone United and North Ferriby United take the place of relegated Altrincham, Welling United, FC Halifax Town and Kidderminster Harriers.
With old rivalries to be rekindled and new acquaintances to be made, it's the turn of Solihull Moors and Sutton United to be put under the spotlight.
SOLIHULL MOORS
The Midlands club will be no stranger to Chester fans as the two sides met twice during the Blues' Conference North-winning campaign of 2012/13.
The Blues beat Moors 3-0 at Damson Park in September 2012 thanks to goals from Nathan Jarman, Ben Mills and Iain Howard but Solihull exacted revenge as they proved to be party poopers on the champions' final home game of the season when a solitary Omar Bogle strike proved the difference.
Despite losing the services of Bogle, a one-time Chester target, to Grimsby last summer, manager Marcus Bignot's side took the National League North by storm last season and earned their place at the National League table after securing the title.
They have been dealt a blow to their plans for their maiden season in non-league football's top flight after losing Player of the Season, right back Michael Nottingham, who has opted to join the Class of 92 at Salford City.
They possess quality in their ranks, though, and 17-goal Dutch striker Akwasi Asante has been a key man for Bignot's side, as has former Shrewsbury winger Steven Leslie and ex-Nuneaton Town man Adam Walker.
Manager: Marcus Bignot
Key man: Akwasi Asante
Last season: 1st in National League North
Ground: Damson Park (3,050 capacity)
Prediction: Battling just above the drop zone

SUTTON UNITED
It's 16 years since the U's were last at non-league football's top table but they will go into next season full of confidence after sweeping to the National League South title.
Manager Paul Doswell's side finished six points clear at the top after a superb season on the pitch, notching 83 goals and conceding just 32 in the process.
Former Wycombe Wanderers and Aldershot Town striker Dan Fitchett proved their talisman in front of goal, firing 20 league goals during the campaign.
The London side, most famous for their FA Cup exploits in 1989 where they beat Coventry City in the third round, have an experienced squad that should be able to hold it's own in the National League with players such as ex-Middlesbrough man Nicky Bailey, who once cost £1.4m, and former Swansea City and Swindon Town defender Kevin Amankwaah providing valuable nous.
Manager: Paul Doswell
Key man: Nicky Bailey
Last season: 1st in National League South
Ground: Gander Green Lane (5,013 capacity)
Prediction: Mid table
