I can see some opposition warming to the idea of thrashing a side who was in the Championship not song long ago and whose supporters may think they’re too big for non league. Big scalp? Kind of.
Maybe – some of the clubs like Dorking which have come from way down the pyramid, for sure. But a lot of the clubs we’ll play will probably consider themselves to be “bigger” than us (whatever that means).
That will only apply to Chesterfield, Notts County, Oldham, Southend and Wrexham.
Torquay, Halifax, Aldershot and York are on a par. The rest are definitely smaller. Not like it means anything.
I spoke to a Morecambe fan a year ago and they said they couldn’t believe they were ahead of the likes of Scunthorpe, who they saw as a traditional league club.
We are where we deserve to be, but in terms of club size we are not akin to Maidenhead, Solihull or Eastleigh.
