Title: Get it segregated
Post by: HashtagAlty on September 23, 2019, 08:46:29 AM
If they want a roof, give them the family stand.

But please, don't be giving up the home advantage we worked so hard to earn on Saturday.

Nigel and the stewards have been excellent over the last 8 months* But let's get a great cup atmosphere in that top corner



(*unsure when you took the role Nigel...)

Forecast is for rain all day/night on Tuesday. Surely we'll give them the last 1/3 of the pop side?
(not saying that we should, but that we will)

just because we have cover doesn't mean it should be offered. the away end is uncovered. that's all there is to it.

Why? Home advantage is vital. The atmosphere in that top corner gets us playing.

Southport have never be arsed about away support. Give them the family stand.

You misread my message. I think we'll give them the pop side because that's what we do.
It should be the away end for away fans. Don't care about the weather. Let them bring umbrellas if necessary.

Correct.

There are no plans, at present, to permanently open this area of the ground to visiting supporters.

Visiting supporters that wish to take cover can use the family stand, situated by the away end. Seats will be limited in this section of the ground.


Via Twitter.

I hope Nigel and his team can get on with their job with out away fans pressuring to let the side be opened should the weather turn. Let's hope we have a few stewards in that top corner before the bullying starts at Half Time.

By 'at present' we basically mean if it starts leathering it down we'll let them in.

The entitlement is baffling. It's a home terrace and they have no right to be on there because some light showers are forecasted. Bring a coat, we all did at Southport.

Any progress made by the board in the last 12 months will be lost if tonight we surrender any form of home advantage.

An utter lack of respect for the cup if they do.

On their forum they are saying they did us a favour opening up the stand behind the goal on Saturday so we owe them a favour back

If the "light shower" that's been going on for the last couple of hours doesn't let up soon we could be looking at a postponement.

Its still raining, but due to cease by 5pm That gives pitch 4 hours to recover and be prepared. I assume that's enough time. If it doesn't stop raining then that's a different matter.

Yes, I'm very surprised we haven't called a pitch inspection for 6 / 6:30.

Interesting maths. It's stopped now, and there's an inspection at teatime.
