A lot of the frustration I see appears to come from not accepting that we are a non-league club. It doesn’t matter what we ought to be, we are what we are.

We do have a proud history, but we also have an embarrassing history. At present we have stability and off-field improvement, which is surely a big step up from the last twenty years? We have also been consistently in the promotion mix for nearly three seasons; that’s frustrating because we haven’t been quite good enough, but it’s not a terrible place to be. At the start of the first season in this league, many of us feared dropping even lower.
