There is no disadvantage or risk to the police if away fans were located in ESL1.
It is the simplest of low cost/no cost reorganisation to organise with NO risk, but several advantages.
No risk to segregation, security,health & safety, logistics or coach transport.
Away fans could be directed to alight from the metro at ASDA/ANR directly in to their security zone & away from JMW & CB coach welcome.
Additionally there will be NO away fans throwing missiles down on to City fans and they will all be pitchside which the PL prefer.
Finally, a second 'dedicated 'home end' exclusively for City fans, will help build a more intense, hostile atmosphere which will help the the team and the matcday experience.
This is probably the last and best opportunity to set the stadium up in the very best way for the long term future !!!
Remove the blinkers, where there's a will, there's away !!
