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)

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.
