Hardly - Notts County would have been the highest ever points tally if not for Wrexham, who were a massive outlier in terms of being bankrolled by wealthy, famous owners who seemed to have the humility and sense to capitalise on that advantage.

It tends to be uncompetitive in the National League when a bigger club gets relegated and has the might to steamroll the league. Luton won it by a mile because they were too good for the league. Chesterfield may very well do the same this season.

But seasons like last season don’t happen every year. When Stockport won the league it was very close almost to the end.

Ignoring notts are also bankrolled, but not high profile
