Just the thought of not having to worry about the club folding and actually having a ground to be proud of is great Im not even sure if I yearn for the Premiership as OUR club will have changed too much to achieve that. Our supporters make our club special I've been thinking the same this weekend . I'd like us to be in the championship playing in a decent stadium but the premier is such a theatre. I love match of the day but I don't know how I'd feel if we were part of it. Very hypothetical subject of course.

I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment of a need for humility.
It was a lack of humility of having a 'big club mentality' and looking down upon other clubs in League Two, and even League One that contributed to the club ending up in non-league to begin with. IMO the "too big to be here" mindset should be shelved. Remember that we previously had a 'five year plan to reach the Championship'. The issue with that previous "five year plan" was that the infrastructure of the club couldn't support the ambition. Yeah, we had some good times, including the special promotion year under Trollope in 2007 and the FA Cup run to the 6th round a year later. But when there wasn't a great cup run we were making seven figure losses year-on-year. We were paying far too much on wages and agents were laughing at us willing to pay over the odds for players. I would argue that this continued until very recently.
Like at any football club there will be ups and downs along the way. I'm looking forward to seeing a sustainable future for the club that can go some way to fulfilling our potential. I would rather fans of other clubs envied us for our commitment to building something special.
On that note I'm excited to see what the future holds under our new ownership.
