Quite strange that a non league football club chairmen feels that he can speak for the whole of non league football.
There are plenty of clubs that do not aspire to follow in FCUMs footsteps. Many clubs know their limitations and know that playing at a level that is unsustainable would ruin them. Certainly Hucknall would never cope with playing above Unibond or conference north level as we would never have the fan base to to provide the money to attract the players that would be required.
Good luck to FCUM, but (as mentioned in my 1st post) it is that sort of arrogance that I really dislike. Granted it was not a statement that was made by your club, but you still assume that we all want to be like you.........
We dont, really we dont..... I made a concious decision to watch football at this level as I had had enough of the way I was being treated by Forest and proffessional football in general (which for me lost it's appeal roundabout 1996 with the introduction of the neuvo fan). I can honestly say that if Hucknall had a run of success that took them into the league, I would stop watching them.
