Yes, there are still the haves and the have-nots but the difference is not as stark as higher up the pyramid.

They will both probably do well but I'm going to plump for the more settled club of the three and back Stockport County to build on their National League triumph by making it back-to-back titles.
Veteran defenders Alex Pearce and Chris Gunter should be astute signings for AFC Wimbledon at the level but the Dons have finished in the top half of a division just once in 11 seasons – and even that was seventh, sneaking up through the League Two play-offs.
Rovers are a big fish at this level but have near-rookie Gary McSheffrey in charge, while Gillingham have Neil Harris, a proven commodity at both Championship and League One level as a manager.
The Gills improved massively after his appointment last season and he took their survival battle to the final day, having looked a lost cause after a 14-game winless run under predecessor Steve Evans.
It basically comes down to who gets over their disappointment best – Mansfield after losing a Wembley final or Northampton after being pipped to promotion on goal difference by Bristol Rovers' last-day 7-0 win.
Time will tell of course but it is Pools' underlying numbers that are the reason for the selection.
