I think our natural level is National and we over achieve to be in the league.

What do we think Borehamwood's natural level is? They astound me the results they get. None more so when they turned us over in the play offs.

I disagree, I think we have all the makings to be a good League One club with their right strategy. Luke Garrard knows how to set teams up for playoff showdowns and cup runs, it’s in their recent heritage. I would say NLS is their natural level. Here’s hoping it stays that way

They've definitely been punching above their weight. Amazing how close they have been to the football league.

They had a huge budget in that league. Torquay had £500k to spend but that was well below BWood. Some would say they have under achieved as they failed to win the league.

Until the money came in they were a yo-yo club between steps 2 and 3 and they dropped as low as step 4 between 2004 and 2006

Attendance wise we are national league, but set up and facilities wise we should aim for league one level. Hoping the crowds increase next season (home fans), then we can really push on.

I believe it’s at the highest ranked teams home ground but I could be mistaken

Mixed emotions at Maidstone this week. Happy to still be in the mix, but very worried about the financial implications of going back up.

Maidstone will bring loads up for this. I know a few lads down that way. They always travel well.

Lewis Young sacked by Daggers. Should have kept Strevs. I wonder how many times teams have gone down with two massive victories against fancied opposition (7 past Heed and 6 past Alty) during the season. Of course Bees got relegated same season we beat eventual play off winners Blackpool 7-0.
