So anticipating we'll go up to tier 3 is being actively negative?????

No it isn't , I never said it was.

Do you think you haven't been actively negative and cynical about the owners to date?

If we've struggled to keep up with the spending power of the likes of Wrexham, Stockport, Chesterfield and Solihull for the past 4 years. then I can't see us competing with the likes of Bolton, Reading, Barnsley and Portsmouth. The further up you go, the more important spending power becomes. Hopefully it won't be in tier 4 where that becomes all too apparent, but I think it has to become an issue in tier 3 with the size of clubs we're now seeing at that level on a regular basis.

Lots of assumptions made but with so many unknowns it's to be expected, but also remembered UTM.

Could it be that at 5th tier level they perhaps didn't want to release the spending power of Wrexham, Stockport? Have we struggled to match Solihull? How do we financially compare?

Spending powers importance certainly does increase as you go up the pyramid as you would expect, do you think our spending power could increase too if we move up the leagues?

Historically football fans talk about natural position in the pyramid , taking in the good and bad times I've always viewed Notts as upper tier 3. I don't know the stats but I wouldn't be surprised if out attendances supported that or very similar.

L1 would be tough for Notts as it would be and is for an Oxford, Port Vale, Peterborough etc
