It's all relative though isn't it? If you are a lower-half first division club going to Old Trafford it is a tough place to go. If you are a play-off level National League club going to newly promoted Gateshead on a filthy Tuesday night, that is also a tough place to go.

Those of us old enough to remember being in the top division or the second tier can't help but remember the 'good old days' but we are now in the NL. Hopefully not forever though.
