I think it's pretty standard nowadays, we went to Yeovil and had to do the same.

They even sent me an email a couple of weeks ago asking if I wanted to renew my SEASON TICKET !!  

Were you tempted?!

I usually go to a maximum of 2 friendlies as generally not the best, but for some reason i’m buzzing to start going again, so i’m currently looking to attend all but Chorley as i’m away. 

[Monty Burns]

in less than a week we will have played one friendly so we will be able to confidently judge and write off at least one new player, know for a FACT that the formation won't work and that if this shit carries on then attendances will fall off a cliff

[rossy52]

do we know if there is  any commentary or video feed for this saturday at Hyde ?

Think Dave Bradley from the BPAS phone-in said he was commentating, so that's presumably being broadcast.

There’s a bar next to the home supporters turnstiles which is away fan friendly, plus the Thatch & Thistle and Richmond pubs which are both a 5-10 minute walk to the ground for those wanting pre-match sups.

From the statement it doesn't look like Southport are happy about it. I guess Merseyside Police aren't used to dealing with fans from big clubs like ours.

I get why on occasion the police get involved with specific games and kick off times and not allowing beer etc, but it’s getting ridiculous how much of a say they are getting these days. Southport will lose a fortune not serving beer to 800+ away fans. They cannot be expecting any trouble in a low key fixture like this surely? Lets be honest, majority of fans are only going for the day out with their mates and not too arsed about the actual game. Wouldn’t surprise me if a fair few don’t bother going in the ground now. Some might say, it’s only 2 hours out of the day and it’s no issue, but it’s not the point, it’s the fact the decision has been taken away from you.

Saying all that, i’m driving so not bothered

[Monty Burns]

southport seemed from the off to be putting a dampner on people attending this one, seems it wasnt actually their doing.

pissin it down aswell. if more than 500 Latics turn up then we are massive
