It's funny because that is what you get when you look at the larger picture. In other parts of the World, it is more important that any team in the country could play in the top flight and win it all
than any team in the top flight realistically being able to win the league. In North America, there is parity but it comes at the expense of inclusion. Elsewhere, having the league open to anyone is more important than league parity. In fact, the league is often more than just the top flight; its a pyramid.
In addition to the inclusion, I really love the sub-competition. Every clubs gets some form of excitement out of one of them almost every season. You mentioned Nott Forest, well Charlton is a bit similar. They have been much more interesting to follow than the Flames over the last decade and they haven't been anywhere close to a final.
