Match Thread vs. Boreham Wood 23.11.21 [NL]

[Notts78]

interesting debate on a few different topics simultaneously, good stuff. In regards to one of them.

We aren't what we were.
We haven't been what we were for a very long time.
Even recalling the Warnock era was 30 years ago!! Let alone going further back to Sirrel.

It has nothing to do with acceptance or (lack of) ambition, if you can't get it into your head that we are in NL where we are one of the big fishes by the 3rd season then no wonder some on here are so negative and have no fun. They are living in a distant past and clearly haven't adjusted accordingly.

The notion that we are Notts County and we are too big for the National League irks me. As a club we have been dying of a thousand paper cuts since the Warnock era. Too many promises of Championship football in 5 years. Too many owners that have borrowed more than we can afford.
As a football club we are where we deserve to be. That I accept. I also accept that for the first time in forever as a Notts fan, I feel the club is being ran properly. The new owners have steadied the ship. Are giving Notts County FC a foundation on which to rebuild. It’s not an over night job and the owners are not here to provide a quick fix and then piss off.
Would I like to see us looking down the table at 22 clubs? Of course I would. That said it only means something when you are doing that in May and not December.
We have a club that is rebuilding. The owners have a plan. I feel it’s a plan that will bear fruit both financially and in terms of League status.

Good post. Reiterating what others have said previously, unfortunately it does seem to keep falling on deaf ears where some are concerned.

As someone who experienced some of the best years in recent history of this club it still sickens me that we are where we are, but it's important to look at the bigger picture and appreciate what is currently trying to be achieved.
