If our main concern as fans was to compete at the top level with the big boys...

we'd already be supporting one of the big boys like the rest of the glory hunters.

We support Norwich because of what it is as a club, not because of how much it wins. We obviously want it to win as much as possible but, crucially, while retaining the essential character of the club. If that puts a realistic ceiling on our potential level then so be it.
