It's blatantly obvious that splitting the vocal home fans into Northam and Itchen North dilutes the home support. When we were at the Dell the home fans in the Archers, at right angles to the East stand where the away supporters were housed, used to generate a fantastic atmosphere with great banter between fans.
Surely it would be possible to put the away fans in the Itchen North and funnel them directly into their coaches at the end of the game. Further more the police would be right next door. With the home fans dominating the Northam end the support would be magnified and would look better on television as well.
