The problem with teams like forest green throwing money around is do the people providing it gave enough to last a long time? Even if they get in the league their crowds will still be very small and they'll make little revenue from away fans etc...I think this is we're teams like this come unstuck in a few years and end up in bother.

I have no issue with teams having an arrogance if they play the game in a decent manner, Fleetwood didn't and IMHO didn't the season before either. So far few will be taking notice of forest green as I believe the players they've signed don't appear to be world beaters, that said they could turn into them.

I expect York to have another good season and possibly wrexham too. Southport will struggle I think as they did the season before this. I'm unsure about Mansfield and I'm not gonna comment on town just yet...

We always worry about other teams , I'll be happier when we have signed some players . I hope we don't wait too long as we have done in the past , where we have to choose the dreggs of whats left .

We didn't wait too long last year and eventually the team came together very well for a good chunk of the season so hopefully the same will happen this year but we will actually start out season in August, not October.

Their attendances are even less likely to grow than Crawley or Fleetwood. Nailsworth has a population roughly the size of Horncastle and considerably smaller than Louth! Even if the whole village went to every game they'd still only be getting 6,500.

That was my point...and let's be honest, very very few people are likely to drift over to watch them either are they...
