The big issue for me is that home fans don't know what to expect from their own ground on any given match day. Where can, and can't we go? And why have decisions been taken? We're all adults, just tell us what decisions have been made and why. That's why the comms around this Saturday's game have been excellent so far.
But not every game is as big as this Saturday, so it feels like we could do with a standardised approach that communicates what we're doing with the away fans on a game by game basis.
It may help if the club created 'Categories' for projected away followings, with different crowd management approaches outlined to ensure spectator safety?
Cat A for your huge away followings that may require more than the away end, Cat B for standard segregated away end and Cat C for the more relaxed Tuesday night games when an Eastleigh-type bring 15.
Those categories and their respective descriptions could be described on the website and say, for example, we are hosting Eastleigh on a Tuesday night we could simply insert a reminder that 'Tomorrow night's match has been specified as a Category C away following and therefore..." into the match preview.
Fans know where they stand (literally) and arrive at Moss Lane knowing what to expect.
We're talking about an issue here that goes back years and we seem to be continually getting it wrong, when it seems quite simple to solve.
