We are probably not quite a play off team let alone a promotion one , no shame in that with a bottom half budget . On our day we can give anyone in this division a scare but we tend to lack the quality to break down teams week in week out . I am patient I didn't expect us to remain in this league for so long so I am content & if ever I need to cheer up I think of that day at Wembley.

Fascinating, Mash. But Peter Etherington has summed up the Bromley situation quite well. I don't think all the supporters will have the patience for the longer journey. The expectation remains, but so does the inconsistency on the pitch. However, Forest Green Rovers got their promotion after several seasons like ours. I have the patience, I only hope I also have the longevity!

Good read Mash and right on not needing a goalscorer who smashes 30 goals and fully reliant on him, goals from midfield are more than crucial in maintaining a promotion or play-off charge.

Currently I think we see the sides with larger budgets able to go out and get another star to further enhance what they have, others just can't compete with them and hopefully promotion takes them out of the equation.

Yeah I wonder how far the last two seasons have been an anomaly.

The money gap between County, Wrexham, Stockport and Chesterfield and the rest might be the biggest a gap has been in a while.
