I suppose perching on the rooftops is another possibility, though not one I would engage in.

Here's one I took at my last pre-Covid visit in March '20.

I think the main reason people were in gardens were because a lot of those houses (in the pic I posted) have the bathroom window with the best view, and the bedroom windows have obstructed views because of the shape of the houses.

Perhaps they don't have the ability to do so on the long side?

Originally posted by torres View PostI would think that you would get a pretty uninterrupted view from any of the houses around the ground.
"For the last round against Havant & Waterlooville, which was also played behind closed doors, several home owners were seen climbing trees and peering over walls and fences to watch."
Maybe the tree climbing is to give an even better view?
On edit: thanks Leszno!

There are a couple of houses with uninterrupted views on two sides, but because Marine is effectively a three sided ground (ie no spectator access to the fourth side), the houses on that side all have a full view.

Question for you groundhoppers: can Marine's pitch be fully or partially seen from any of the houses close to the ground?

In the sporting context
And I wasn't even 20 yet. My mother warned me about those people.

They mean the same - interim is an imported term from the US, I believe.

A "significant number" of Wednesday's personnel have it too, including pretty much all the coaching/management staff (Pulis got out just in time)

It's going to be hard for the FA to find slots for these games without either forcing clubs to play a Cup and league game in the same midweek (as happened to Wimbledon in December) or telling the COVIDed club that they have to forfeit. Given that Southampton are EPL, I could see the FA giving Shrewsbury the shove, unfairly, to stop Southampton moaning about congestion, and to prevent a precedent where a BRC might be forced to play a Cup and League game in midweek.

Brentford seconds v Middlesbrough juniors could be under threat. Boro's got it.

Southampton v Shrewsbury Town is off for the standard reason.
