There is a part of me that wouldn't want Bristol Rovers to go down, as, like you point out, they would be a big fish in the Conference pond, which would make life a little harder for us, if we were in a position to challenge. With Luton and maybe Grimsby in the play-offs, that would be, arguably, the two biggest clubs promoted and the Conference would perhaps not be the strongest it has been, next season. I imagine Lincoln will rouse themselves at some point, as will Wrexham.
On the other hand, if Bristol Rovers were to drop, somehow it wouldn't feel quite as bad getting relegated to non-league, if it was happening to a bigger club as well.
My heart wants Exeter or Bristol Rovers (no offence to Rovers intended), whilst my head says, someone like Morecambe, who wouldn't be too much of an issue in the Conference.
