Of course it is possible but logistically it's difficult as you would have to ensure that both sets of fans are segregated when entering and leaving the ground. To allow both sets of fans access to the North Stand is difficult especially if you are allowing home fans access from both the North and West. Also the club will need to have to employ extra stewards and security to cater for the additional areas of the ground being used.

There would also only be a handful of home fans in there. Nice acoustics but it's a terrible view.

I fully understand all of the points about extra costs and the safety of fans.
These two factors alone are more than enough reason that the club are right not to entertain the idea right now.
What does surprise me though is why the ground wasn't set up in such a way that we had a 'home' end for our fans.
Seems odd to me ?
I'm sure most sides throughout the world have a dedicated home end first and then away fans are accommodated accordingly after this.
I maybe wrong and a bit old fashioned , but always seen an advantage for home teams attacking 'their' end etc

Part of North Bank would be open every week if we were getting 8,000+ crowds. The only chance of that happening this season now is against Luton and possibly if we are in the play - offs again. We would never be able to put away fans in the NW corner though.

Am I imagining the other end of the ground then?

I think Crewe in the Play Offs was the proverbial straw that broke the camels back.
