That's a good post Winslow and it cuts it all back to what supporting a club should be about. The reality is we SHOULD be in League 2, because that's where we are after 125 years of playing. If you haven't found your level in that time you aren't going to. The only injustice in that time worked in our favour when we stayed in the league thanks to Kidderminster not completing their ground upgrade in time!

Don't get me wrong, I'd rather be in League 1 and aspire to being in the Championship, but I genuinely don't think I'd want us to get to the Premier League. At that point it becomes too global rather than local, we'd lose the close-knit nature of the club and get lost amongst all the Johnny-Come-Latelies and hangers on. I kind of like supporting a club where we can have idle banter about bumping into players in the supermarket or where you walk past Sammo in the street and he recognises you and says hello, or where Wendy in the shop knows your name when you go in and asks about your family. I just want to be able to go and watch my team play decent, entertaining football, have something to celebrate now and again and generally have enough security around the club to not be chucking money in buckets every few years. As long as we're doing that, I'm really not that bothered about what level we're doing it at.

I know where you are coming from mate, but I think as a club we have an identity, L1 is where we should be IMO  but we need a few improvements in our infrastructure to make that commercially sustainable and not reliant on a sugar daddy to be bankrolling the club constantly.
Under the current plans that isn’t going to happen, I am not in the Trusts camp when it comes to DB not making a profit from the land BUT it also needs to be fair, we need to protect our future.
