Isn't that exactly how unkind people would have described us when we were hanging on by our fingernails to a League 2 place and just about keeping our gates above 1000, only a few years ago?
And wouldn't you have called Oxford, Wimbledon and Wigan "traditional non-league clubs" just a few years before they started climbs that led to the (proper) First Division / Premiership and assorted Cup Finals?
