The encouraging thing looking at that list is that there are only half a dozen clubs with significantly higher crowd pulling power than us.
On that basis we should be aiming for at least top ten this year, and maybe even play offs if we get the rub of the green?
After all, we must have our annual Wembley trip.

Quoted from 75
Our six years in the abyss have damaged the clubs stature within the game. The truth is we have an ageing ground, poor training facilities. I don't know what our scouting network is like but I doubt we have a man with his ear to the ground anywhere outside of Lincolnshire. Prozone stats and monitoring? Nutritionist? (That'll be Dave Moore).
We will need to re-establish ourselves as a proper football club after so long playing pub football, we lost our 2nd best player IMO to Chesterfield, a smaller club than ourselves not so long ago. We can't compete with them or the likes of Doncaster, again a smaller club than ourselves not so long ago.
Let's be honest, look at the Chesterfield and Doncaster examples, can anyone earn a gold star by pointing out what both clubs have in common?
Is it a council that bent over backwards to help to not only improve the area but help something that is part of the fabric of those Towns with new stadia

I was gonna go with funny accents, but I think you might be right.

I would say Leyton Orient are a similar sized club.
Go to Brisbane Road and look at the ground and the surrounding infrastructure over the road. Things have moved on a lot since we were last in League 2.

I think a few of us are in for some shocks. Those clubs that have been in the league throughout our "holiday" in non-league will not have been idle...
