I hate seeing the BRS empty, it gives the match a pre-season type feel, and I've said it before, but we NEVER closed the Christie Avenue end to away fans. Ever.
The logistics of Morecambe fans changing ends at half time wouldn't be a problem (I would think) as they could obviously go down the North Side to gain access.

The Bay stand is the same as the MBW except it has fewer steps at the bottom.

And the situation is going to get worse, and remain so for a long while.
A solution?
Go back to the old, old days, amalgamate League 1 and 2, and regionalise them.

Can't believe this hasn't allready happened! In this day and age where money is tight it would make enormous financial common sense.
With the expense of accomodation for up to 30 players and staff and the coach hire for 2-3 days, plus the lack of fans with the resources/willpower to travel the length of the country to follow their team it just doesn't make economic sense to run it as it currently is.
They could keep the play offs and major cups national but play the lower leagues regionally i.e North and South.
I for one would much rather have been playing the likes of Oldham/Carlisle etc' on Saturday rather than Stevenage. Much larger crowds, better atmosphere, increased revenue for the clubs etc' etc'.
The advantages seem to far outweigh any disadvantages but for some reason it just doesn't seem to be on the FL agenda.

Two down from the Championship.
One up each from League 1 North and South.
If the 2 relegated Championship sides were both Southern then they'd go into League 1 South, or League 1 North if they were both Northern.
Then one of the League 1 leagues would need adjusting for the forthcoming season by moving the most appropriate geographic team into the other League 1 league. That really wouldn't make a lot of difference for that team as they'd be a Midlands outfit so whether they travel north or south wouldn't make a lot of difference to them or their supporters.
Relegation from the two League 1 leagues would be one down from each.
Promotion from the BSP would be two up.
The BSP would also need splitting into North and South.
To cater for this Conference North and South would each need to lose ten teams, who join either BSP North or South. Conference North and South would then need teams from leagues below them being bumped-up, and so on.
I made all that up as I typed, so someone who knew what they were doing shouldn't take much longer
