It would be odd for any club to have a owner who wasn't trying to move the club forward, how many owners right now are trying to take their club backwards?

In reality Notts have fallen at an earlier stage of the 5th tier play offs each time, finishing 3rd, 5th, 5th in that order having yet to challenge for top spot despite being among the top 2 or 3 supported clubs in the division.

Is that mediocrity? If it is and the gates aren't dropping then the fans are accepting it.

If it isn't mediocrity, then what is it? Whatever it is, the fans are evidently quite happy with it, the owners and being in the 5th tier. If they weren't then they'd either be not turning up or making their dissatisfaction heard on the terraces.
