I understand Wendy's point and didn't take it as an insult to clubs with smaller crowds. More importantly though, can we get ratboy banned from paying on this forum now, as his spamming and trolling got tedious a long time ago. banned? For what ? Having an option? Cancel culture at its finest .if you don't like what you see don't look . Cancel culture!? Shut up you cretin. If there was an ignore function on here you'd both be on it already.

Could you afford to compete at the higher level though? With the extra costs for better standard players, travel and ground development. Every club has a natural level and since automatic promotion, northeastern clubs are finding that level. Yours might ultimately be step 4, but it might be where you are right now and it’s better for clubs to be competitive at their level than to do a Marske and watch it all fall to pieces. Only 3 teams averaged over 500 in the NPL East last season Stockton 754, Ashington 512, North Ferriby 503, Belper averaged 498. Six teams averaged between 3-400 7 teams between 2-300 and 3 teams with an average below 200. Curiously Newton Aycliffe average 191 and Carlton 187 finished 7th and 5th. North Ferriby Average 503 finished 8th which was 8 points off the play off positions and 21 points off the top spot. It would appear that having massive attendances although desirable is no guarantee of success and that what maybe deemed low attendances would mean failure. Birtley averaged 254 last season and West Auckland 197 I think that they would have had every chance of doing well in the NPLE. www.footballwebpages.co.uk/northern-premier-league-east-division/attendancesI'm not disputing that clubs can be promoted and do very well. But without the money stream coming in over a long period, those less well supported clubs eventually loss management and players and can eventually drop back down again. It happens at every level of football and I'm sure the two NL clubs you mentioned would want to attract more punters through the gates and potentially they would do at a higher level. But it's not just having a decent squad and management team, it's having the finances to develop the grounds as you climb the pyramid.

But it's not just having a decent squad and management team, it's having the finances to develop the grounds as you climb the pyramid. You make some great points and as you say every club will have its ceiling and find its natural level. What they coming years will find out is that many clubs won’t know what their ceiling is as they have been pushed this far. Could clubs like heaton and birtley do well at that level, who knows as they have never been there before. What we do know is that with compulsory promotion, more and more of these teams will be getting the opportunity to find out.

If there was an ignore function on here you'd both be on it already. I’ve known Jambon and the Rat for many years and both are proper supporters of their team and are definitely not cretins. They are both welcoming and very friendly. I suppose they post some of their 🎣🎣 as a result of the speed some people bite.

If tears were beers they'd be drunk as lords off the forum alone Look i know they are trolls. And in amongst all the rubbish they post they do actually add some worthwhile comments/ debate. What i find very peculiar, and a little bit sad if i'm honest, is how grown men find being trolls funny. It's just something i'll never be able to understand. Bragging and reveling in bites on a message board. its a bit pathetic really isn't it?
