Pat’s Southport Profile

Southport FC manager Liam Watson wants 50 points and safety this season after winning the Conference North last year. Realism at a club with an average gate of 844 entering a Division with 8 clubs who could compete financially with the top half of League 2.


Although Southport pipped Fleetwood to the title last year they have been left in the stalls by their counterparts this. That said just two years ago they were forced to return to semi pro so progress is being made. As the Sandgrounders nickname suggests these folk will not be easily trampled under foot.
