If you've all forgotten that's the 3rd tier of English football, a decent standard, I've watched several matches at Burton and Lincoln in that division this season and will do so again next year. I remember fans moaning about Keith Curle when Notts were in League One really knocking on the door for promotion and then it all fizzled away it makes me sick, I really do struggle to believe it's the same club. When I have to visit other towns/cities and I get chatting about football telling them I used to watch Notts they all ask the same question "what on earth has happened to that football club". Can anyone on here honestly say convincingly that Notts will ever play in the League again. I honestly thought the club was finished when they dropped out the league and I've been astonished by the attendances most higher than the League One days although I do think the Covid break has helped with that but say in 3/5 years time do people still think that 6/7000 people are gonna turn out to watch non league football.
Luton were down here for quite a while, Lincoln even longer. Tranmere were another team that always failed down here in the playoffs. Lincoln were 90 mins away from the championship last year. Luton this year we're in the playoffs to get to the premier league.

Teams who rebounded quickly seem to yoyo, look at Grimsby, Cheltenham have yoyo'd, Barnet certainly have. We need a tweak, not major surgery
