Given the time of kick off and live on telly I really can't see over 1,500 dragging themselves out of bed at some ungodly hour and travelling to Accrington, even though they have great support for where the club are now.

I wouldn't bet on it Dave, many younger fans like to clock up a " New Ground" n should think Stanley will be that fer majority under 60s

And apart from that a boozy weekend in Blackpool in this weather with a trip to a "new ground" may appeal even more

Come on people

Lets be realistic

Lets hope Pompey bring 2,000 or 3,000 or even as much as 4,000

by not restricting them to a certain allocation it will hopefully encourage more of them to come and fill the ground providing our club with much needed funds.

Pompey fans are good natured and rarely cause trouble (unless its Southampton)

The club made a mistake restricting the Everton allocation, they would have sold a lot more but lots of fans did not know you could turn up and pay on the gate in the Stanley end.

You be realistic Davo, if many decide not to travel, cos on the offchance they will NOT gain entry, to one of smallest grounds in league, That would be a ridiculous state of affairs, also would you travel so far, being unsure yeh would gain entry? I know damn well i would not.

[DAV007]

maybe, but pompey fans are not daft.
Maybe Stanley need to publicise the main stand will be neutral?

And if / or when so many turn up, plod would have no option but to close the gates to prevent a crowd safety issue, do you think those Pompey fans locked out / turned away would go quietly back down the motorway???

Or what about Stanley fans being turned away from their own ground due to it being packed out with visiting fans???

Maybe you want to take into account the people who actually sit in there???

I'll be in the Main Stand, along with several hundred other Stanley fans. Some of those will have season tickets. And the last thing a season ticket holder wants is to turn up with somebody sat in the seat they've reserved.

And I wouldn't want to turn up and find myself sat in amongst a load of away fans in a "home" end!! I'd imagine it's a sentiment shared by other fellow Reds???

Another stewarding / policing nightmare.

The game being on the box will probably net Stanley around £100k for television revenue. That's the equivalent of an extra 5,800 paying adults....

A sensible approach would be to make it all ticket. It might put a few off, but at least it would ensure no nightmare scenarios of lockouts and crowd trouble.

£100k You wish, I wish, Stanley wish!

Hello Stanly fans, my first post as you're team are now officially my second team and I'll be chearing you on every week. I expect you'll pick up quite a few Saints fans as Beatts family is still living down here and very much still a Saints legend.
anyhow, I'd be wary of the blue few, when ever they play against a team with a high profile ex Saint, they go out of their way to give him what they describe as a "Scumming" which basically means giving him aggressive verbals etc all game. There's an iconic photo that's pretty famous in Southampton of Jimbo with his hand cupped to his hear after scoring against them, they proper hate him, I honestly expect a few hundred extra to turn up just to give the Scumming live on tv, honestly, they're that neadathol!
