I expect I am not alone in noticing the group of 10 or so 11/12 year olds who stayed at the away end to offer abuse to the Southport fans at the start of the second half. A couple of the knobs were sporting Stone Island and clearly thought that they offered some sort of threat. They got shepherded by one(!) of our stewards back to the Golf Road end where they were kept an eye on. However, as I was driving away at the end of the match, they had congregated on the grass outside the shops and were gesturing towards the away support; a couple of police cars had parked either side of the supporters coach as well.
I have no idea whether there was any nonsense, but the possibility of Alty finding itself with a group of pre-pubescent pretend hooligans is, frankly, depressing.
