Been talking to a very nice chap from Southport FC. They're expecting a large away contingent, and have asked that fans get there early if possible, and preferably buy tickets in advance online. Don't expect to turn up at quarter to three and just walk in - there will be queues. The ground will be opening at 1pm, with the bars and catering all fully open. As a struggling non-league club, they see this as a big money-spinning game for them, and would really appreciate your support. They have tried to keep admission prices low.
Parking is on-street around the ground.

Best to wait for that annual low tide, set off early and walk across the beach

Shame they didnt see it that way last year when they refused to sell us any beer which they could have made a fair bit of revenue from.

It's a poxy friendly with a few hundred of us if I can't get in at quarter to three I'll be back to the pub where I've just come from.

The last few times we've been there the 'large away contingent' easily got in. Doubt it'll be different on Saturday.

If you go then you will miss the first half.
