'obviously yeh dont converse with that many? our facilities for away fans are pretty disgraceful'.

I'm not arguing that point: I agree with you, but would they not be better catered for by improving the Coppice end rather than building a new stand?

My question is, would the additional away fans that would come as a result of improving the facilities be enough to fill a new stand on a reasonably regular basis?

If the answer is no, then we have a nice shiny, empty, atmosphere-depleting stand.

Out of interest is Morecombe's away gate regularly higher than ours for comparable fixtures? This would give a good indication of the likely impact of a decent ground on away support.
