It has been a conversation further ignited in recent weeks with Wrexham's FA Cup result to Championship Sheffield United adding fuel to the fire, as the 'three up, three down' debate continues.
In what has been a sensational start to the National League season for the Magpies, Luke Williams' side sit second in the fifth tier, level on points with their Welsh rivals having played a game more.
Both continue to set new levels during this extraordinary campaign with both on target to accumulate over 100 points, however, one will ultimately miss out on the only automatic promotion place and see their fate decided by the play-offs.

It's been a route that has provided heartbreak for the Magpies since their drop outside the EFL, coming closest to a return in their first season in the National League, losing 2-1 to Harrogate Town with no fans able to attend that Wembley day out due to Coronavirus restrictions.
And the quality of the sides in the National League soon attracted the attention of the nation following this year's FA Cup competition.
Both Chesterfield and Wrexham forced replays with Championship opposition, while Boreham Wood also managed a replay with League One side Accrington Stanley, more than highlighting that a conversation needs to be had about making a change in the system.
And speaking ahead of their trip to Solihull Moors tomorrow evening, the Notts boss gave his views on the situation surrounding the ongoing conversation.
"I think everyone would agree that the sides at the top of the National League would be able to compete comfortably in League Two," explained Williams.
"I think often teams can get bogged down in the EFL and in a bad place and ultimately drop out of the league, and once they get themselves together and reborn, we have seen this quite often in recent seasons and try to build themselves back up.
"Clubs like Notts County, Chesterfield, and Wrexham have huge fan bases and as soon as they get going correctly again, they become a real force and would strengthen the competition in the EFL if two or three sides were promoted.
"Of course I am biased, but I do genuinely believe that the standard is so high at the top of the National League that it would strengthen the EFL if they allowed more teams to go up and compete there."
