I thought one point Phil made was telling: if we stay part time we definitely can't expect to get into the football league, so we have to give it a go if we ever want to fulfil our ambition.
It was a five-year plan to get into the FL, let's remember. As we get to grips with our second season of this plan, we can reflect on the tremendous job both board and management have done to get us into a position where we are able to give full-time football a go for the first time in our history. The transition, I suspect, was always likely to be difficult, and I would consider survival as a decent season, and of course vital to the plan. If we can bed in full-time football, we then have three seasons left of the five to try and build a team capable of challenging for promotion.
Let's also remember that we are arguably punching above our weight just to be playing at this level, with one of the lower budgets in the league and many strong clubs waiting in the leagues below (Kidderminster spring to mind). I am a long term supporter of realism, and the fact is that post Maunders, to be competing at National League/Conference level is a success. Let's try and enjoy it and give those who have got us here (and are trying to move the club forward) a chance.
