I agree; your view is an unfashionable one, albeit I fully appreciate what you mean !
However where would you draw the line with this view............I put a lot of the 'success' of FC United (novelty aside, cheap version of Man Utd for youngs kids aside) down to the fact that they can 'compete' every game with their opposition ie hammer them cos they can afford better players.
Surely we want to compete at the highest level possible without going bust in the process. Derby's with Vics (and Macc) rather than 35 coming here from Droylsden and Hyde. We will be competing soon with a team that won the League Cup not long ago.
Your point is a good one though, because footy fans are normally fickle. The danger with just staying up each season (fantastic by the way - heres hoping) is that the floating fans stop coming once a team is not seen to be winning every week
