FA Trophy fourth round draw - Southport (H)

I think the usual line is that they can’t due to stewarding costs. A shame as I hate the east stand. South upper’s a lot better so hopefully that’s open too
Which is frustrating, as even Southport tomorrow are opening all of their stands and allowing fans to roam freely between them.

We must open at least the East & West and make tickets reasonable, what with it being the first week after Christmas.
 
Very winnable. Should we get through there are guaranteed to be at least 5 teams from below our division still in, so a 33% currently of getting one of them.

Opening the west is probably too big for this tie to warrant it. This is why say open the north. It gives fans an incentive to get some nice food, a beer and a good atmosphere. You have none of that if you open the south upper instead.

West or North, not fussed. Just another option to the East which just kills the atmopshere.
 
Surely there's far too many logistics problems in trying to put away fans back in the South in this day and age?

Shared entrance with the East stand etc etc...
 
North and East for home fans, South for away.

What will they realistically bring down - less than 100?

Come on Tom you know it makes sense
That could be an option. It would mean hardly any stewarding needed. They could enter via shakespeare avenue and we wouldn't have to worry about segregation in the north.
 
Or the northwest corner. Get a good atmosphere in there instead. Open up the east and the North west corner. They could just make the entrance into it via shakespeare avenue.
If there were an entrance via Shakespeare Avenue,there would have to be a very long bridge or tunnel,passing over or under Fairfax Drive.
