>As somebody who has been around non league football for the past fifty years I have heard this same complaint many many times about different levels of football.Those people of my age will say that todays Wessex League is nowhere near as strong as the old Hampshire Division 1 of the fifties and sixties when Portsmouth,Southampton, Aldershot and Reading all had 'A' sides playing in it. That is a matter of oppinion. Teams fortunes change over a period of time. I played against Bashley in the Hampshire Junior A Cup back in the sixtees, and Winchester City were really struggling only a few seasons ago, but having a millionaire join the Club soon changed these teams fortunes.VT and Brockenhurst were struggling not so long back but now appear to have a bit of money to spend and are prospering, and good luck to them.Poole Town not so long ago nearly went out of existance, but are now doing well. It is all really a matter of opinions how good a league is and some times things get better as times go byespecially when you are looking through rose tinted glasses
