The next Southampton? You mean spiralling debts with a board who don't care about the club, with everyone deserting them like fleas leaving a sinking rat? Or the next Brighton: vacating a dilapidated old ground and ending up in a groundshare at Gillingham! I suppose if you look at where Fleetwood Town were ten years ago there's a precedent for a club from a run-down seaside town prgressing from small crowds in the depths of non-league to teh Football League. It does appear though that they're already acting like a Conference National club without having the ground facilities or fanbase anywhere near the level needed, and there are so many precedents for clubs acting like that only for their grand vision never to reach fruition it's hardly surprising if people at other clubs are sceptical. But Fleetwood have fans.

But Fleetwood have fans. Well, obviously they do now after six promotions in ten seasons and Football League status. They didn't when they started their rise from the NW Counties League. Their longest serving regular player Nathan Pond once played for them in front of a sub-100 crowd at a home league game.

Not all clubs have a growing fan base as promotions come.
Look at Whitehawk & Concord Rangers.

Yes but only to Connie south not league 1. If Whitehawk or whoever got to league 1 they'd have more than the 34 regulars. Can anyone draw him a picture?
