This is a hard league and the fulltime clubs who have the much bigger resources or financial backers will always rise to the top eventually and the part time clubs very rarelystay in the top half for long.
Clubs it could be argued currently with bigger resources and decent squads etc
Grimsby, FGR, Eastleigh,Wrexham, Woking,
Then there the ones who should do well, have the resources but are in transition like;
Cheltenham, Tranmere, Lincoln, Chester, Torquay, Halifax, Barrow now, Gateshead,
Then there the rest,...about 10 clubs whose success depends on a mixture of good management, getting the right players and luck.
The surprise packages last year were Macc, Dover and to some degree us.
