Is one of the problems for us as fans that we don't give this league the respect it deserves? There are no end of examples of Conference sides performing with great distinction in the FA Cup against higher opposition.
I have to say, from what I have seen, I believe this league is league 3 in all but name.

Agree with that very well organised sides and at history shows promoted BSP sides tend to do well or at least hold their own

Totally agree mate and i think some fans believe we should only have to turn up to win because we are massive and this is a pub league. Our budget and fanbase should dictate that we are up the business end at least but we need to be more realistic and build a side capable of challenging. Walk before we run so to speak. Welcome by the way.

It comes with over a decade of failure, the galling thing is that when we were in the Championship we used to take great joy at being the minnow getting results against bigger teams now it feels like it's happening to us every other week. What's worse is the WUM's that have been drawn to this board who may not even be football fans, just losers who get's off on other people's misery. Some are likely to be Scunts and Gimps, those really bitter fans who have been jealous of Town's previous league history.

The jealous bit YES would agree there i am jealous and envious of your run in the Championship and how well Scunny have done with the endless list of stikers they have churned out......But think it is a sad old day when we were averaging 5000 not too long ago to now be struggling to beat the 2k mark - I know your gates have dropped dramatically also

I wasn't labeling you Rob, I work with a Lincoln fan and have good banter with him. It's seems we only hear from certain posters after a loss or something happens where they can stir the excrement, pardon my french.

Thing is that being a big club in a division like the BSP isn't always helpful.
Clubs like Braintree and Forest Green are absolutely itching to beat clubs like yourselves because you're considered a scalp. It can take a bit of time to adjust to that and not everyone manages it. It's exacerbated by fans of the bigger clubs fully expecting a side with over 100 years of FL experience to walk all over a part-time side that has spent most of its existence in regional leagues but it doesn't work like that. It's the same at all levels, Nottingham Forest and Leeds took some serious time adjusting to places like Cheltenham and Yeovil in League One.
