If we win, I will travel on the Saturday. I have provisionally booked a hotel in London for the weekend but with a free to cancel option.
There isn’t really that much animosity between Southport and Marine supporters, mainly because until last season we hadn’t played each other much for many years (outside of the county cup).
A few Southport fans are a bit resentful of Marine’s recent ascent after they banked all the money from the Tottenham game and mock some of their supporters for only getting on board since then. But generally the atmosphere between both sets of supporters is OK. If both teams reach the final, I would be surprised if there was any trouble.
The two teams play each other on Good Friday, six days after the semi finals.
