I think you misunderstand the mentality of the average Boro supporter - and followers of most clubs similar to Boro. Most of us are happy to go along to watch "our" team, hoping for a win, sharing the misery when we lose. To a large extent, the level is unimportant, Over the years, many of us have spoken about how great it would be to win promotion to what is now EFL, but in practice we would rather be near the top of National League North than be whipping boys to bigger clubs in League 2.

Every fan needs to accept that their club has a level above which they cannot reasonably expect to rise. It's not lack of ambition, it's realism. Experience has shown that signing great players and paying them full-time level wages will result in going bust. This administration has made it clear that we will not be spending beyond our means. That almost certainly leads to the conclusion that we will be a semi-pro club - which in turn sets our ceiling around NLN. Planning for higher than that would be imposing restraints that are not needed.
