It's not just Notts fans that say it either - it Macc were to get relegated, you wouldn't get many articles banging on about how shocking it is that they've dropped into the fifth tier.
Of course that doesn't detract from the fact that we fully deserve to be relegated from the football league this year, due to the amateurish way the club has been run for years. And I agree that our 'big club' status will not benefit us down there. Teams will raise their game against us.
One more thing: despite us being a relatively big club down there, I don't think anyone expects us to romp our way to promotion next year - at least not anyone I've spoken to.
